RICHMOND, VA. - In game shortened to seven innings due to a thunderstorm, Virginia Commonwealth (15-6) defeated Maryland (3-10) 15-2 in baseball action on Saturday at The Diamond. The game marked the second game of a three-game series between the two schools.

Maryland got a run back in the top of the third inning when Frank Valois scored on a sacrifice fly by Matt Swope. In the bottom of the fourth inning, however, the Rams took advantage of an error and a passed ball to plate five more runs and pad the lead to 13-1.

With the score at 15-2 in the middle of the seventh inning, the game was made final when a thunderstorm came rolling in to Richmond.
