After putting up 34 runs in its past two games, Maryland baseball’s offense stalled early in Friday’s game against Purdue.
Purdue sophomore right-handed pitcher Khal Stephen had the better of Maryland’s ace, junior right-hander Jason Savacool, only surrendering two runs in his first six innings.
After Savacool’s rough start — in which he allowed six runs in 5 1⁄3 innings — Maryland was down six heading into the seventh, a tall task even for a team with as much offensive firepower as the Terps.
But Stephen loaded the bases, and Maryland flipped a switch.
