Up 5-3 in the top of the seventh with two outs, Maryland baseball was in a good spot to close out the game to complete the series sweep over Baylor on the road.
Standout shortstop Matt Shaw was not satisfied, however, as he sent a bat-rattling shot into deep left field. Shaw was rewarded with a two-run homer, giving Maryland a comfortable four-run lead, which was more than enough to close out its opponent on the third straight day of competition.
Backed by Shaw and first baseman Maxwell Costes, who collected two home runs each, Maryland was able to finish off Baylor 8-4 on Sunday afternoon.
