Maryland baseball took the series opener at Ohio State, 7-5, but it required some dramatics toward the tail end of the nearly four-hour contest.
The game was low scoring heading into the eighth inning, as the Terps led 4-3.
Sophomore center fielder Elijah Lambros legged out a single to start the inning, and junior catcher Luke Shliger worked a walk to put two runners on. Senior third baseman Nick Lorusso put runners at the corners with two outs, which brought up junior shortstop Matt Shaw in a crucial spot.
On the first pitch of his at-bat, Shaw hit a clutch three-run home run to extend the lead to four.
