Maryland baseball had an opportunity to return to their winning ways Sunday in a doubleheader against Illinois Saturday. After dropping Friday’s game one, a sweep of the series-ending doubleheader would be Maryland’s greatest hope to stay in the conversation for an NCAA Regional bid.
Pitcher Jason Savacool followed up on his solid performance from last week with a very strong outing in game one, surrendering three runs over eight and a third innings against the dangerous Illinois lineup.
Game two saw a return to the Terps’ home run hitting form, as Maryland tallied six long balls en route to their second victory of the day and series-clinching sweep of the doubleheader.
