Maryland baseball clobbers 4 home runs in its 21-6 victory over Georgetown
Paul Jones II and Brayden Martin’s historic night led the Terps to the win.
Until Sunday, Maryland baseball first baseman Paul Jones II hadn’t hit a home run since April 28th. His blast that day was the only one the Terps logged during their 11-2 victory over Georgetown. On Sunday, he turned his fate around with two home runs and five RBIs to help lead it to victory.
In the last midweek game of the season, Jones II multiplied his success in the batters box. In a record-breaking night, the Minnesota native crushed two grand slams and a home run to contribute 11 runs in Maryland’s victory against Georgetown, 21-6, in College Park. Austin Weiss took the pitcher’s mound to start the game for the Terps, but he only lasted one inning.
Weiss walked the leadoff batter and an errant pick-off attempt let AJ Solomon reach third. Georgetown then scored the first run of the day on an RBI groundout. Ryan Costello struck first for the Terps, singling in the bottom of the first.
He eventually reached third after two walks followed. Jones II took the batter’s box for his 50th at-bat of the year. He cleared the bases with his first grand slam of the night, pushing the Terps in front.
