In the bottom of the sixth inning, Michigan State’s Mitch Jebb hit the ball down the first base line. The ball took a high bounce in the dirt over the glove of outfielder Randy Bednar and towards the bleachers. Jebb advanced to third on the play.
The following play, Michigan State’s Bryce Kelley hit a fly ball deep into left field. Maryland handled this one for an out, but not without Jebb tagging third and advancing home to extend Michigan State’s lead to 3-0.
While the Spartans did not have a ton of chances, they made the most of them.
