After cruising through the first inning on just 11 pitches, Maryland baseball’s freshman starter Jason Savacool looked to be setting himself up for another stellar outing. He calmly maneuvered through the dangerous top of the Nebraska order, looking seasoned beyond his years and confident on the mound.
But the second inning would not be kind to Savacool, as he gave up seven hits over eight batters, punctuated by a loud two run double off of the right field wall by catcher Griffin Everitt.
The five-run frame would be more than enough of a cushion for the Huskers, as they held down Maryland’s late attempt at a comeback and served the Terps a 14-3 defeat in Lincoln on Sunday.
