Maryland baseball won its season opener for the second straight season in a 6-3 victory over UAB Friday in the Terps’ first game of the Swig and Swine College Classic in Charleston, South Carolina.
The Terps scored six runs on six hits, with every run coming in the fourth inning. The cushion was enough to survive a two-run eighth inning from the Blazers.
While Maryland opened last season with a dramatic victory over Georgia Southern, Friday did not offer the same theatrics. After going scoreless in the first three innings, the Terps offense broke out of its shell in the bottom of the fourth inning, scoring six runs on four hits to blow the game open.
