After a rough Friday start against Maryland baseball last weekend, Ole Miss junior right-handed pitcher Jack Dougherty shoved Friday, shutting down Maryland’s electric offense.
Dougherty threw six innings, allowed one run, three hits and tossed seven strikeouts. His performance was key for a 5-1 Ole Miss victory in Maryland’s first game of the Cambria College Classic in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The loss puts Maryland below .500 with a 4-5 record. The Terps will have a chance to rebound Saturday against No. 7 Vanderbilt.
To start the game, Savacool retired the side in order and was helped by a diving catch by senior left fielder Bobby Zmarzlak.
