Maryland baseball will host Purdue (11-21) for a three-game set this weekend in College Park, Maryland.
The Terps continued to play their best baseball of the season in the second half of the year last weekend in Champaign, Illinois, where they took two out of three against the heavy-hitting Fighting Illini.
Pitching continues to be Maryland’s bread and butter. The Terps’ arms gave up just nine runs to an Illinois team that was tops in the Big Ten in essentially every major offensive statistical category entering last weekend’s series. This weekend’s rotation of Nick Dean, Jason Savacool and Sean Burke, respectively, will look to continue that trend against a Purdue team that doesn’t have the same firepower as the Fighting Illini.
