Pitchers ruled Tuesday’s matchup between Maryland baseball and Delaware, with only five runs scored between the two teams.
But Maryland’s staff outdid the Blue Hens, as the Terps rode the performances of Ryan Van Buren and Omar Melendez to secure a tight 3-2 win.
“Ryan and Omar did a great job today,” Maryland shortstop Kevin Keister said. “Can’t ask more from them. So you know, it’s always nice to see nine innings of two-run ball. We’ll win a lot of games that way, so it was great to see that.”
Maryland tacked on two early runs in the first and third innings, with RBIs coming from right fielder Jacob Orr and Keister.
