No. 1-seed Maryland baseball escapes No. 8-seed Indiana in extras, 6-5, in Big Ten Tournament opener

In the top of the 11th inning in Omaha, Nebraska, No. 1-seed Maryland baseball was about to go down a run to the No. 8 seeded Indiana Hoosiers as graduate second baseman Tyler Doanes smoked a ball into right field.

But right fielder Troy Schreffler Jr. picked it up and slung a rocket towards sophomore catcher Luke Shliger at the plate. Shliger snagged it and tagged redshirt junior catcher Matthew Ellis just in time for the second out of the inning.

Redshirt freshman right-handed pitcher Nigel Belgrave got the ensuing batter, pitcher Jack Perkins, to hit a weak groundout, giving the Terps a chance to win the game in the bottom of the inning.
