Not often do first inning walks end up being game-changing moments for the offense, but fifth-year outfielder Chris Alleyne’s walk in the top of the first inning eventually allowed Maryland baseball to take an early advantage on the scoreboard.
After his walk, Alleyne soon after made his way over to third on a throwing error, putting Maryland’s speedster in a prime position to take the lead over Campbell. Sophomore infielder Matt Shaw, the Terps’ RBI leader entering Friday, drove Alleyne home on a sacrifice fly to right field to give the visitors the one-run lead before the Camels could get a chance to bat.
