Maryland baseball escapes Ohio State, 6-5, clinching weekend series win

After crawling their way back into the game, Maryland baseball held a 4-3 lead heading into the seventh inning.

In the top of the seventh, Ohio State senior first baseman Zach Dezenzo smacked a two-run homer to regain the lead for the Buckeyes.

With the game winding down, the Terps’ opportunities were running out. Sophomore catcher Luke Shliger kept Maryland alive with a moon shot over the right-center field wall to tie the game at five.

Then, with two outs on the board, junior third baseman Nick Lorusso pushed Maryland over the finish line with a go-ahead home run over the left-center field wall to give Maryland a one-run lead, which it would not relinquish the rest of the way.
