Maryland baseball blows late lead, falls to Washington, 6-5

Maryland baseball led by two, just four outs away from an undefeated showing at the Kleberg Bank College Classic.

But in the bottom of the eighth inning, Washington freshman Blake Wilson hit a go-ahead three-run off of Evan Smith blast to give Washington a one-run advantage. Maryland couldn't match it in the top of the ninth, sealing a devastating 6-5 defeat to the Huskies.

Junior Meade Johnson made the start for Maryland, looking to bounce back after a rough outing against Georgia Southern last weekend. Johnson was relatively sharp Sunday, allowing two runs in four innings.

He worked out of early trouble in the first, but still let a run in.
