With a newly recaptured one-run lead against Penn State, Maryland baseball found a way to add an exclamation point in the bottom of the eighth inning.
After sophomore second baseman Kevin Keister and sophomore catcher Luke Shliger both got on base with a pair of singles, fifth-year center fielder Chris Alleyne stepped up to the plate on a mission.
Alleyne hit a three-run rocket that bounced over the extended centerfield wall and sealed the 8-4 win for the Terps in College Park on Friday night. It was a back-and-forth affair all evening long, with Maryland surrendering three consecutive runs at one point, but it rallied to capture its third straight win to improve to 21-5 on the season.
