Fifth-inning meltdown derails Maryland baseball in 12-8 loss to No. 25 Iowa

Maryland baseball clinched a series win on Saturday against No. 25 Iowa with a 7-4 win. On Sunday, it looked for a big road sweep against the Hawkeyes in its first Big Ten series of the year.

Maryland was in a position to do so. It took a 6-1 lead into the bottom of the fifth inning, and freshman lefty Kyle McCoy was cruising.

But in that frame, two hits and a walk loaded the bases with no one out. A ground ball by Iowa redshirt sophomore utilityman Keaton Anthony was misplayed by junior second baseman Kevin Keister, which allowed two runs to score.
