MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University baseball team was edged at No. 21 Maryland, 7-6, on Tuesday afternoon in College Park, Maryland, to begin a four-game stretch against ranked opponents.
On a hot, sun-soaked day at Bob “Turtle” Smith Stadium, the Mountaineers (19-12) scored three runs in the first inning and led 4-0 after three, but the Terrapins (21-10) rallied with a two-run sixth inning and a five-run seventh to improve to 12-1 at home.
Down by a pair in the ninth inning, WVU attempted to rally, loading the bases with one out, but could only bring one run across on a sacrifice fly.
