Terps Season Ends in 10-4 Loss to Michigan

OMAHA, Neb. – The sixth-seeded Maryland baseball team were eliminated from the Big Ten Tournament after a 10-4 loss to Michigan. The Terps season ends at 29-29

What to Know

  • The Terps and Wolverines, both 1-1 in the tournament, played a Friday afternoon elimination game, with Michigan leading from the top of the first to the end of the ninth.
  • Maryland starter Tyler Blohm was bounced after an inning after he gave up two in the first and walked the first batter. Junior Elliott Zoellner entered and was the Terps' most effective reliever on the day, striking out four over three and a third innings.
  • Michigan expanded the lead to 4-0 in the fifth before the Terps got on the board. Randy Bednar slugged a two-run homer to make it 4-2.
  • Michigan took control of the game with two runs in the seventh, one in the eighth and three in the ninth. Maxwell Costes hit his 15th homer of the season in the eighth and his third of the tournament.
  • In the bottom of the ninth, senior AJ Lee finished his Terps career with a solo homer. Lee completed his last game 4-for-5 and a triple away from the cycle.

Other Stuff

  • The Terps finished the season at 29-29, a five-win improvement from 2018.
  • Lee was greeted by every person in the Maryland dugout after his home run. What a career for Lee, who played 183 games as a Terp and as a two-time All-Big Ten honoree. He finished the season with his highest average of the season at 317. A captain and a winner, that is AJ Lee.
  • After Maryland's home season ended last week, this space honored the people that make those games function. With the season now complete, we thank the unsung heroes of Maryland baseball's traveling circus: director of operations Meghan Kane, strength coach Will Franco, athletic trainer Evan Lobato, radio play-by-play men Connor Newcomb and Zach Solon and student managers Micah Saltzberg and Nick Peltz. Coaches and players get all the deserved credit, but you cannot function without behind-the-scenes superstars. Hats off to all.
  • Maryland's four seniors: AJ Lee, Hunter Parsons, John Murphy and Taylor Wright now become alums of Maryland baseball. That is your leadoff man/shortstop, Friday night ace, closer and three-hitter/third base stalwart. What a group.
