Maryland baseball held a one-run lead heading into the eighth inning, and the Northwestern Wildcats had kept the game close with their pitching.
Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, Northwestern had tacked on five runs and three pitchers had been used in the inning.
The Wildcats’ lead would hold for the rest of the contest, as Maryland’s pitching combined with inconsistent hitting resulted in a 7-4 loss on Saturday afternoon in College Park with the series tied heading into Sunday.
Maryland got on the board early in the bottom of the first inning, off of the bat of third baseman Nick Lorusso.
