After confirming its first series win with two straight victories against Penn State, Maryland baseball entered Sunday’s contest with the chance to tie its season high three-game winning streak.
But in spite of a seventh-inning home run from Chris Hacopian to trim its lead, Maryland failed to capitalize on several key scoring opportunities.
The Terps couldn't overcome a Nittany Lion mid-game scoring burst and a two-hour rain delay, falling to Penn State, 8-4, in University Park.
Maryland struck first. With a full count and two outs, Hollis Porter launched a two-run home run in the top of the first inning, giving the Terps an early 2-0 lead.
