It didn’t take long for No. 1-seed Maryland baseball to make its presence felt in its opening game of the regional against No. 4-seed Long Island. The bottom of the second inning saw the Terps explode on offense and ultimately end the game before it even started.
Maryland got on the board first with an errant throw by Long Island shortstop EJ Exposito that saw Terps junior outfielder Troy Schreffler Jr. score Maryland’s first run.
The Terps wouldn’t stop there. Its offense would seemingly continue to showcase its electricity in dominant fashion. A three-run RBI double by third baseman Nick Lorusso, a two-run homer by shortstop Matt Shaw and a string of contributions throughout the lineup allowed Maryland to take a commanding 9-0 lead after just two innings.
