Maryland baseball desperately needed to bounce back in Saturday’s split-doubleheader against Iowa and Northwestern after dropping game one of the series to the Hawkeyes on Friday.
After being supported by their offense for most of the season, Maryland’s starting pitchers cashed in on an opportunity to repay the favor in both games. Stellar outings from sophomore Nick Dean and freshman Logan Ott led the way for the Terps, who supplied timely hitting and patient at-bats to secure a sweep on the day.
Dean’s lights-out performance and Matt Shaw’s 3-4 day at the plate carried the Terps to an 8-6 victory in game one, and Logan Ott’s collegiate pitching debut and solid performance from the bullpen secured a 2-1 game two win to improve the Terps’ record to 15-13 on the year.
