Terps Split Series with Illinois

LEESBURG, Fla. - Maryland softball took game two against Illinois to split the series for a second time on Saturday. 
  • GAME 1 - Maryland 5, Illinois 7 
    • Sophomore Taylor Liguori hit straight down the center to bring senior Regan Kerr home to put Maryland up 1-0 early in the bottom of the first 
    • Defense stayed strong throughout the first five innings, as Illinois threatened with multiple runners on base but were met by stops from the Terrapins 
    • Illinois came back to tie the game in the top of the sixth 1-1
    • After going to an extra inning, the Illini scored six runs on five hits in the top of the eighth to put them over the Terrapins 7-1
    • Maryland battled back scoring four more runs in the bottom, but couldn't catch up falling 7-5
  • GAME 2
    • The Terps got on the board early in the first with Regan Kerr notching a double, followed by freshman Jaeda McFarland sending it to left field to bring Kerr home 
    • Illinois came back to tie the game for the second time in the series in the bottom of the third
    • Sophomore Campbell Kline earned herself a triple to start off the top of the seventh, followed by junior Gracie Voulgaris sending it down centerfield to bring Kline home to put the Terps up 2-1
    • The Fighting Illini answered back with a run of their own in the bottom of the seventh to send the game into the eighth inning, the thrid extra inning for the Terps in four games
    • While on second, McFarland took advantage of Taylor Okada's hit down the middle and brought it home to put the Terps up over Illinois 3-2 
MONTGOMERY'S TAKE
"The girls fought," head coach Mark Montgomery said. "We had one bad inning where the wheels fell off. Unfortunately it was in an extra inning. However, to come out after being dejected, knowing they should have won game one, they fought and found a way to win game two. They are showing lots of character. I am so proud."
