COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Prior to the start of Maryland's game against Miami on Saturday, April 13, head coach John Szefc and the Terrapin baseball program held a dedication ceremony to unveil the Eric Milton Family Clubhouse.

The Terps' clubhouse, which is located within the Varsity Team House just beyond the left-field fence at Bob "Turtle" Smith Stadium, received a facelift with significant help from former Terrapin Eric Milton (1994-96) and his family.

The renovation included the installation of 38 custom cherry-wood lockers, new carpeting and flooring, new signage, and the addition of an awards wall and a custom counter for kitchen appliances.

"This project is really important for the program because it was an area in which we were lacking," said Szefc. "Eric's generosity and timeliness allowed us to do it now and let the three seniors (Jack Cleary, Jordan Hagel and Jimmy Reed) benefit from it.

"Eric's generosity was big in getting it done now, instead of in six months. With his history in the program as a player and a coach, it adds that much more having his name on it. He, more than anyone, understands how important a legitimate clubhouse can be to a player. It certainly helps our guys day-to-day as far as their quality of life with how much time they spend in there. It adds a lot more coming from him. Eric is near and dear to our program as a player and coach."
