CHICAGO – Following a breakout weekend at the plate, Maryland freshman Maxwell Costes has been named the Big Ten Player and Freshman of the Week, the conference announced Monday afternoon.
Costes helped the Terps sweep Maine, batting .444 with six RBIs and three doubles while reaching base eight total times. He became the first freshman to record four RBIs in a game since his brother Marty achieved the feat in 2016.
The Baltimore, Md., native is Maryland's first Player of the Week since Will Watson won the honor on May 14, 2018. The last Maryland player to win Big Ten Freshman of the Week was Tyler Blohm on March 20, 2017.
Maryland returns to action Tuesday at VCU. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m., and fans can listen to the action
