As Maryland baseball walked off the field after its 6-9 loss to Eastern Carolina University in the NCAA Tournament Regionals, many players held their heads in disappointment. But to the fans in College Park, it was a season that brought huge progress to the program.
The Terps were ranked in the D1Baseball top 25 for the first time in four years and earned an NCAA Tournament berth for the first time since 2017. As fans and students were piling back into Bob “Turtle” Smith stadium for the first time since the pandemic started, they were given a great baseball team to witness.
