GREENVILLE, S.C. -- The University of Maryland baseball team lost both games of its doubleheader vs. Michigan State on Saturday at Fluor Field. Maryland returns to action Sunday at 1:30 p.m. ET for the series finale vs. the Spartans.

What You Should Know

Michigan State took the lead early on in game one and never relinquished it, leading wire-to-wire to secure the Spartans' second-consecutive win.
Vice versa, Maryland led for the majority of game two, but a four-run bottom of the seventh gave Michigan State a lead they wouldn't concede as they clinched the series.
Sophomore right-hander Connor Staine was sensational in his first college start. The New Jersey native tossed six innings of one-run ball, striking out nine, while not issuing a single walk. Staine was poised to get the win in his starting pitching debut until the Spartans took advantage of the Maryland bullpen and some poor defensive plays.
While Maryland made improvements offensively from Opening Night, the Terps left too many men on base - nine in game one, seven in game two.
There weren't a lack of quality scoring opportunities for Maryland. In the eighth and the ninth innings of game two, Maryland left the go-ahead run on base.
Freshman infielder Matt Shaw had a pair of hits in game one. In game two, he made his first start at third base.
Junior first baseman Maxwell Costes had a three-hit day. Randy Bednar also had a hit in each game.
Junior shortstop Benjamin Cowles launched the Terps' first home run of the season. It was a solo blast in the ninth inning of game one.
