It looked like No. 24 Maryland baseball had complete control late in the game, leading 3-2 headed into the bottom of the ninth following a spectacular pitching display through the first 21 batters.
However, with three outs to go, Towson got the bats rolling. Following back-to-back RBI hits from senior infielder Jack McGlaughlin and junior outfielder Elijah Dickerson, the Tigers cut the lead to one, and a lead-off homer from Chandler Castleberry in the ninth tied the game.
Following Towson’s late rally to force extra innings, Maryland’s big-time power hitter and reigning Big Ten Player of the Week Bobby Zmarzlak stepped up to the plate in the top of the 10th inning.
