COLLEGE PARK, Md.-Senior shortstop Jeff Kenney broke a 6-6 tie with a three-run home run in the top of the sixth inning, propelling Richmond (25-9) to a 10-7 win over Maryland (13-16-1) in baseball action today at Shipley Field. Kenney's blast highlighted a five-run sixth inning by the Spiders, who rallied from a 6-4 deficit to hand the Terps their third consecutive defeat.
Maryland rallied from a 2-0 hole in the bottom of the second inning, as it erupted for four runs. Junior right fielder Frank Valois (Ashton, Md.) provided the big blow, as he launched a three-run home run.
Richmond came back to tie the game up at 4-4 in the top of the fifth inning, but junior designated hitter Craig Munroe (Thornhill, Ontario) hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the fifth inning to reclaim the lead for the Terps. The Spiders, however, put the game out of reach in the sixth inning, led by Kenney's three-run shot.
Sophomore third baseman Brian Patenaude (Marietta, Ga.) also hit a solo home run for the Terps and junior outfielder Dan Phipps hit a solo home run for Richmond. Maryland now travels to NC State for a three-game ACC series against the Wolfpack. Game times are 7 p.m. on Friday, 7 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. on Sunday.
