Maryland baseball’s offense entered Friday’s game having posted double-digit runs in its last seven games. Friday night was quite different, though, as the Terps saw themselves in a pitcher’s duel through the first five innings, facing a 2-1 deficit.
In the bottom of the fifth, Maryland’s bats came alive, though, and put up a five-spot which gave it a 6-2 lead. The Cornhuskers wouldn’t go down without a fight, but Maryland was able to score two runs in the bottom of the eighth to manage an 8-4 victory.
Nebraska’s offense wasted no time getting runs on the board, as junior second baseman Max Anderson demolished a no-doubt two-run homer to give the Cornhuskers an early lead in the first inning.
