Maryland took the first game of its three-game series against Bryant, beating the Bulldogs, 8-3, on Friday.
The Terps scored early and often, scoring in each of the first five innings — including a four-run fifth inning that gave them a comfortable cushion.
Kenny Lippman started for the Terps — his first home start this season — and had a strong performance. As the team’s top starter, Lippman set the tone, throwing six innings without giving up an earned run. He also struck out nine batters, only giving up three hits and walking three batters.
“Feeling good, feeling more comfortable, you know,” Lippman said.
