On Saturday Maryland split a doubleheader with Penn State, thereby taking the series. It was the first B1G series win away from College Park since the Ohio State series last May. Penn State took game one 2-0, spoiling a complete game performance by Taylor Bloom. The Terps had plenty of opportunities to score early in that game but came up empty. In game two the Terps scored early and often, busting the game open with a four-run seventh to win 8-3. They were helped in the process by Penn State's inability to properly field bunts.
Penn State got all the run support they would need right off the bat.
