Maryland fell 12-7 on the road to the Delaware Blue Hens in what has become almost an annual home-and-home series. Last year the Terps took both games from Delaware, and looked to repeat that success this year. In today's game Maryland sent freshman RHP John Murphy to the hill for his first collegiate start.
Home runs jump start each team
The Terps wasted no time in getting on the scoreboard. As in previous games, they used the long ball. Leading off the game, Kevin Smith cracked a single to right, and then Madison Nickens hit his third home run of the year.
