Maryland senior third baseman Nick Lorusso stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded in the sixth inning. He was in the midst of chasing a 30-year record set by Derek Hacopian — the father of teammate and sophomore first baseman Eddie Hacopian.
Lorusso had 80 RBIs entering the at-bat, with the program single-season record set at 83. With a 1-2 count, Lorusso launched a no-doubt grand slam, the 11th grand slam of the year for Maryland, for his 84th RBI of the season, and the dagger in a 20-5 rout of Nebraska.
The first three innings were a close battle, as both teams traded two-RBI singles in the second.
