MM 4.14: Maryland baseball catcher Devin Russell named Big Ten Player of the Week
This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.
Maryland catcher Devin Russell was named Big Ten Player of the Week, the conference announced Monday. Russell notched two walk-off home runs over the weekend to help propel the Terps to a series win over Indiana at home. On Saturday, Russell was nearly unstoppable from the plate, going 3-of-4 with three RBIs.
His home run in the bottom of the seventh inning enacted the run rule and ended the contest. Russell’s home run Sunday was a walk-off grand slam — he finished the weekend hitting . 500 to propel the Terps to their first conference series win of the season.
