With its weekend series against Michigan tied at one game apiece, Maryland baseball looked to secure the ultimate NCAA Tournament resume boost by claiming a series victory against the ranked Wolverines in Ann Arbor, Michigan Sunday.
Maryland wasted no time in turning around Saturday’s quiet performance at the plate. With one out in the top of the first, the Big Ten’s home run leader shortstop Benjamin Cowles stepped to the plate with a runner on first.
The shortstop got into a fastball from Michigan starter Jacob Denner and sent it over the left-field wall for his 17th long ball of the season.
