After holding the lead for the entire game, No. 23 Maryland baseball suddenly found itself down one in the bottom of the seventh following a three-run inning from Northwestern.
The Terps quickly responded, however, getting their first three batters on base. With a chance to take the lead, freshman designated hitter Ian Petrutz hit a difficult ground ball to Northwestern first year second baseman Patrick Herrara.
The ball bounced off Herrara’s shoulder as junior right fielder Troy Schreffler rounded third and scored Maryland’s second run of the inning. The Terps tacked on two more runs before the end of the inning.
