No. 18 Maryland baseball had to wait a few days to start its pivotal series against Rutgers. Friday’s game and Saturday’s game were both postponed due to the weather, which led to a doubleheader on Sunday with the series finale on Monday.
The Terps offense was spectacular in game one, leading them to a 16-8 victory. Maryland’s 16 runs were the most Rutgers has allowed this season. However, game two saw a dramatic turn as sophomore right-handed pitcher Jason Savacool could only make it through one inning due to a back injury.
Head coach Rob Vaughn was forced to make a change to his game plan, resulting in eight Maryland pitchers seeing the mound in the 18-7 loss.
