Orioles Fall to Yankees in Demanding Series, Sending Fans into Disarray!
The Terps lose their second midweek game of the year.
In the top of the sixth inning, Maryland baseball’s Devin Russell set his feet for his second at-bat of the day. On an empty count with runners on the corners, Russell swung, blasting his first home run of the season over the left field fence to put the Terps ahead. Just two batters later, an RBI single from Ryan Costello widened Maryland’s lead to two.
That lead didn’t even last a full inning. Richmond’s Dylan Winebrenner smashed a double down the third-base foul line, posting a two-RBI to tie the game once again. Maryland could never hold the lead for more than one inning against Richmond, eventually sliding to a 7-5 defeat.
Rylen Stockton hit a sacrifice fly into third-base foul territory to bring Brayden Martin around the horn in the top of the first inning. The junior utility player scored after stealing his ninth base of the season. Richmond’s Aidan O’Keefe pulled a similar maneuver, posting a sacrifice bunt to bring his teammate Chris Scheller home to tie the game in the bottom of the second.
With two outs left in the same inning, redshirt junior Jackson Kraemer hit his first career home run to deep left field for a two-run shot, seizing the lead for the Spiders. Maryland pitcher Nic Morlang made his longest outing of the year against Richmond, staying on the mound for four full frames. After giving up six runs against West Virginia last week, the freshman right-hander allowed three total runs over the 20 batters he faced.
