Maryland baseball’s magic number for at least a share of the Big Ten regular-season title sat at one on Friday. With a win, the Terps would have clinched the title for the second season in a row.
After taking the lead in the fifth, the Terps looked to be in prime position to do so.
Both teams were in the midst of a tight pitching battle as the score stood 3-2 in favor of the Terps, but Penn State junior infielder Jay Harry hit a two-RBI single that took back the lead.
Maryland didn’t score the rest of the game, and ultimately fell to the Nittany Lions, 5-3.
