After a 25-10 offensive explosion on Friday, Maryland baseball was looking to clinch a series win on Saturday. But it didn’t come easy, and Maryland battled all game to take Saturday’s game, 5-4, getting its second series win this season.
The game was the polar opposite of Friday night, with the Maryland offense scoring three runs in the first inning and then falling silent until the fourth, something that was unexpected after everything went its way a game prior. After a tense top of the eighth, Ian Petrutz hit a go-ahead solo home run on a full count to give Maryland the lead.
