Coming off of three straight wins against talented Iowa and Northwestern teams last weekend, Maryland baseball opened up a three-game home set against the 4-23 Minnesota Golden Gophers on Friday night.
The Terps came out swinging early, crushing three straight doubles over the course of just five pitches to take an early two-run lead. Then, right fielder Tucker Flint dug into the batter’s box.
Flint wasted no time, sending a low-and-in fastball well over the fence in right field to open up a 4-0 first-inning lead. The home dugout yelled in excitement and the Terps took a lead they would not surrender over the course of the game.
