Maryland baseball was entirely outplayed by Indiana in the first game of this weekend’s series, as the Terps dropped Friday night’s contest, 15-4.
Pitching continued to be a problem for the Terps. Starter Kenny Lippman gave up six earned runs, having difficulty finding the zone and working out of difficult counts. In six innings, Lippman walked three batters and hit another two, also giving up eight hits in his 106-pitch outing.
Maryland was able to control Indiana’s top hitters, with Carter Mathison and Devin Taylor both going 0-for-6, but Hoosiers elsewhere in the order stepped up.
“I would’ve paid anything for that,” Swope said of keeping Mathison and Taylor silent.
