Despite taking the first game of its series at No. 4 Ole Miss with a commanding 9-2 victory, Maryland baseball proceeded to drop the ball, losing games two and three, with game three’s loss coming via the brand-new SEC mercy rule. A series win against Ole Miss would’ve been a statement for Maryland, portraying itself as a legitimate threat to make a run to Omaha later this year.
However, Maryland’s bullpen struggled in the series. The starters looked solid over the weekend, specifically junior Jason Savacool, who had a tremendous bounce-back game after a troubling outing to begin the season against South Florida.
