The final piece of the NCAA baseball tournament’s round of super regionals wasn’t set until approximately 2 a.m. Eastern time on Monday, when Maryland pitcher Kevin Mooney froze UCLA’s Darrell Miller Jr. with a breaking ball. That sent the Terrapins’ dugout into euphoria that spilled onto the field of Jackie Robinson Stadium in Los Angeles, celebrating a hard-fought 2-1 win over the Bruins and another step toward the team’s dream of making its first appearance in the College World Series.
Maryland will meet Virginia in the super regionals for the second straight season in a best-of-three series starting at 4 p.
