Maryland baseball vs Illinois preview
Photo courtesy of Maryland AthleticsMaryland baseball will ride the momentum from its program-best six-game conference win streak into Champaign, Illinois this weekend for a three-game set against the Fighting Illini.
At a season-best 19-13, the Terps’ strongest asset of late has been their pitching. Head coach Rob Vaughn’s stable surrendered just ten total runs over the course of last weekend’s three-game series against Minnesota.
Right-handed starter Nick Dean continues to impress on the mound and will be Friday night’s starter this weekend. Lights out performances from a youthful back end of the bullpen have also played a key role in Maryland’s winning ways.
