Maryland baseball erased a three-run deficit Friday in its first game under Matt Swope, defeating Georgia Southern, 5-4.
Maryland had to wait until the ninth inning to take the lead. Right fielder Jacob Orr singled through the left side and then advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by freshman left fielder Brayden Martin. Georgia Southern’s Jake Martin then threw a passed ball, advancing Orr to third.
After a Chris Hacopian walk, second baseman Sam Hojnar — in his first game with the Terps after transferring from Iowa — drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly.
