A back-and-forth battle quickly turned Maryland’s way on Friday night, as the Terps exploded for five runs in the seventh inning to pull away from Nebraska.
Thanks to solid bats — including four home runs and 13 total hits — the Terps secured a 12-5 win at home. They now need just one win over the weekend to capture their first three-game series win of the season.
The Cornhuskers struck first on the evening. Cayden Brumbaugh launched a solo home run to left field off Maryland starter Kyle McCoy, giving the Cornhuskers an early 1-0 lead. Despite that spark, McCoy quickly settled in, retiring the next two batters to limit the damage.
