Maryland baseball shuts out UMBC, 11-0, in 7 innings
The Terps posted their first shut out of the year Tuesday.
Maryland baseball has fallen victim to the mercy rule four times so far this season. Four different times, the Terps left the dugout early after a 10-run deficit in at least seven innings ended the game. Against UMBC though, Maryland flipped the script, posting a dominating run game to shut out the Retrievers, 11-0, and end the game in seven innings.
Maryland’s David Mendez posted an RBI single to open Maryland’s scoring in the top of the second inning. Jordan Crosland joined the fun; smacking a three-run home run over the fence to put the Terps up by four. One inning later, Rylen Stockton took his turn to blast a two-run homer, his sixth fence-clearer of the year.
In the same inning, Brayden Martin walked with the bases loaded, bringing around yet another run for the Terps. Maryland’s field staff stopped UMBC from any offensive production. In the bottom of the third inning, center fielder Aden Hill launched himself into the air to snag a fly out from clearing the fence.
