Maryland baseball opened its first game of the weekend at Washington with two runs in the first inning, looking to ride its stellar offense to victory.
However, the Terps pitching crumbled and their offense folded, falling to the Huskies, 12-4, Friday night in Seattle.
Washington (10-13, 3-1 Big Ten) outscored Maryland (11-11, 1-3 Big Ten) 12-2 after the top of the first, as Maryland’s pitching and defense struggled once again.
“We just got to be tougher,” head coach Matt Swope said. “After the first inning scoring a couple of runs, we gotta have better at-bats as the game goes.
