Down 5-6 in the bottom sixth against VCU, No. 24 Maryland baseball had runners on second and third with two outs.
Catcher Luke Shliger didn’t let the Rams’ lead last, dropping a soft line drive into shallow left field, scoring both runners. Maryland tacked on one more run before junior Will Glock closed out the game from the mound in the top of the ninth.
Shliger’s two-run double and added insurance was enough for the Terps to pull away from VCU in College Park on Tuesday as Maryland secured the 8-6 win. Maryland will play VCU again tomorrow in Richmond, Virginia, with its improved 10-2 record.
