No. 13 Maryland baseball (2-2) is coming off a tough midweek loss to West Virginia on Tuesday, falling 8-6 due to a five-run first inning which put it in a hole it couldn’t climb out of. It will have to brush the loss off and look toward this weekend, as it takes on the reigning national champion Ole Miss Rebels, ranked No. 4 in the nation.
Against the Mountaineers, Maryland was missing junior shortstop Matt Shaw due to illness and graduate outfielder Matt Woods for the fourth straight game due to injury. Woods had an MRI on Tuesday, which showed no signs of a fracture.
