Matt Shaw hits record-breaking home run in Maryland baseball’s 16-3 rout of Georgetown

Maryland baseball had struggled to put midweek opponents away early in the season, but it has had no issue recently.

With junior catcher Luke Shliger on base, junior shortstop Matt Shaw walked to the plate in a historic position, just one home run shy of breaking the Maryland career home run record. Shaw delivered, slamming a home run to center field — the 44th of his career.

The blast was the second of what ended up as seven home runs slammed by the Terps Wednesday in a 16-3 rout of Georgetown. The game was mutually called after seven innings— the same decision made during Maryland’s demolition of UMBC Tuesday.
