In the eighth inning of Maryland baseball’s series finale against Purdue, redshirt junior right-handed pitcher David Falco Jr. loaded the bases with two outs, bringing junior outfielder Couper Cornblum to the plate with a chance to tie the game at 10 with a grand slam.
Cornblum launched a ball to the left field wall that nearly equalized the score, but it fell just short. Still, the ball hit the wall, scoring two runners easily. Purdue senior outfielder Mike Bolton Jr. attempted to race his way from first to home and cut into the Terps’ lead even further, but an impeccable relay by the Maryland defense caught him at the plate.
