No. 22 Maryland baseball found itself up 4-0 early as everything was clicking and it seemed to be headed towards another blowout. However, the UMBC Retrievers exploded in the fourth, scoring three runs to cut the lead to one.
Only up 5-3 in the top of the sixth, Maryland still needed to add some insurance to close out the visitors. With bases loaded and just one out, fifth-year center fielder Chris Alleyne flew out to right field, allowing junior third baseman Bobby Zmarzlak to score from third. But, sophomore catcher Luke Shliger found himself in a pickle in between first and second.
