In the bottom of the ninth, with the score knotted at three, Maryland found themselves in a bases-loaded situation thanks to three walks by Minnesota’s pitching staff. With two outs, third baseman Tommy Gardiner stepped into the box.
It wasn't just Gardiner who willed the win to victory. The Terps’ entire dugout was animated, forcing Minnesota’s pitcher to walk Gardiner and bring in the winning run.
Maryland squeezed out the 4-3 victory on Saturday afternoon in an intense back and forth affair that saw each team record six hits and the starting pitchers duel for much of the contest.
