Maryland baseball dropped a back-and-forth season opener on Friday, blowing an early 4-0 lead and ultimately falling to Campbell 10-6 in 10 innings in Conway, South Carolina.
The Terps appeared in control for the first half of the game, with five hits and four runs scored, but Campbell kept chipping away and took a 6-5 lead with a three-run seventh. Maryland rallied in the ninth to tie the game on a wild pitch, only for the Fighting Camels to pull ahead for good in the 10th.
Hunter Parsons took the mound for Maryland as this season’s Friday starter, and the senior had a solid first outing on the mound despite some trouble in the fourth inning, throwing five innings of two-run ball, striking out two and giving up four hits.
