Down three in the ninth inning, Maryland baseball needed a miracle to pick up a crucial win at Penn State.
But when junior second baseman Kevin Keister hit a sacrifice fly to bring up the top of the order, it seemed like all of State College, Pennsylvania held its breath. Junior catcher Luke Shliger hit an RBI double, and junior shortstop Matt Shaw was intentionally walked, bringing up senior third baseman — and college baseball RBI leader — Nick Lorusso with the bases loaded.
With one swing from Lorusso that guided a seeing-eye single to left field, the Terps took the lead after an improbable comeback, and ultimately won, 17-15.
