No. 24 Maryland baseball’s third baseman turned pitcher Nick Lorusso stared down Delaware second baseman Joey Loynd at the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning. Lorusso, one of seven Maryland pitchers to grace the mound on Tuesday, had to deal with a runner on first with Loynd up to bat as the Terps held a one-run lead.
Loynd immediately erased Maryland’s 3-2 lead and took the junior pitcher all the way out of the park, which gave Delaware all the momentum it needed. The Blue Hens’ hit almost made contact with the scoreboard at Bob Hannah Stadium as Delaware took care of business the rest of the way after Loynd’s two-run homer.
