Maryland baseball: Terps trample Towson 9-2
Brandon Lowe had three hits and three rbi, Kevin Martir hit his seventh home run this season, and Terrapin pitchers combined to strike out 16 Tiger batters.
This game was billed as the "Ripken Cup", which first took place last year. Never heard of it? You're not alone, as a midweek game against Towson isn't necessarily headline material. But I like the idea of a tournament played at Cal Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen, MD. Perhaps a round robin with UVA, Delaware, and Navy might generate some local excitement.
But I digress. Today's game had Towson sending out RHP Austin Clark (0-4 6.46 era) to face Maryland's Brian Shaffer (3-0, 5.15 era).
