Maryland baseball put itself in prime position to sweep the 25th-ranked Iowa with a win in game two of a huge series.
Senior right-handed pitcher Nick Dean came through for the Terps, leading the way with a gem — he threw five shutout innings and allowed only one hit. The Maryland offense also provided Dean with sustainable run support throughout his performance.
Dean’s outing, combined with another strong performance at the plate from junior shortstop Matt Shaw, helped secure the 7-4 victory for Maryland.
Junior catcher Luke Shliger started the game off with a wall-scraping leadoff home run over the right-field fence.
