Maryland baseball takes down Nebraska, 4-2, to advance to first Big Ten Championship Game since 2015

Maryland baseball headed into the bottom of the ninth up 4-0, seemingly well on the way to victory. Redshirt sophomore reliever Nigel Belgrave entered the game to close it out, but couldn’t get anything going as he walked three straight batters to load the bases for Nebraska.

Sophomore southpaw Andrew Johnson relieved Belgrave, and immediately allowed an RBI single. He recorded the next two outs, but that brought the ever dangerous junior second baseman Max Anderson to the plate with a chance to win the game. He launched a ball to deep left field, but fifth-year outfielder Matt Woods caught it at the track to secure the 4-2 win for Maryland, sending the Terps to their first Big Ten Championship game since 2015.
