After surrendering an 8-0 lead to Michigan, giving up five runs in the ninth, Maryland had its backs against the wall. However, the Terps didn’t waver as they were on the brink of an epic collapse.
Bednar was hit by a pitch to open the eleventh inning, allowing him to take first. The following batter, designated hitter Bobby Zmarzlak, was walked. Bednar stole third to give first baseman Matt Orlando an opportunity to drive in the winning run with runners on first and third.
Orlando did just that, hitting a deep double on a 2-2 count to drive in Bednar and bring home the leading run.
