After trailing for the first seven innings, the Terps worked themselves into a situation to come away with a win in the bottom of the eighth.
Third baseman Matt Shaw and left fielder Tucker Flint both reached base to start the inning. With one out, shortstop Benjamin Cowles flew a ball into right field, just deep enough to score Shaw, and gave Maryland its first advantage of the afternoon. The Terps, who had struggled to convert in scoring situations last weekend, did their job at the plate in Friday’s series opener.
Behind gusty at-bats and a lights-out bullpen performance, Maryland baseball took home a victory in game one of this four-game weekend, 4-3, and improved to 7-9 on the year.
