LINCOLN, Neb. -- The University of Maryland baseball team rallied back from an early four run deficit, coming back against the Huskers and earning a 10-7 win to even the series with Nebraska on Saturday afternoon at Haymarket Park. Maryland got homers from Benjamin Cowles, Matt Shaw, and Luke Shliger, while Nick Dean, Ryan Ramsey, and Sam Bello did the job on the mound.

What You Should Know

• Maryland came from behind not once, but twice in Saturday's matchup between the Terps and the Huskers. Trailing by four runs early, Maryland clawed out of the deficit with a three-run shot from Benjamin Cowles. Trailing by one run later, homers from Matthew Shaw and Luke Shliger tied the game - then gave the Terps the lead which they would not surrender.
• Maryland notched 13 hits against the first-place Cornhuskers. It was the team's third-most base hits of the season - two of which coming against the top-two teams in the Big Ten.
• The middle of Maryland's lineup was unstoppable, as batters 2-6 (Bednar, Shaw, Costes, Shliger, Cowles, and Flint) in the lineup all recorded multiple hits. 
• Tucker Flint opened the scoring with an RBI single in the second inning to put the Terps up 1-0.
• Nebraska used a big inning, getting to Maryland starter Nick Dean for a five-run third to take a 5-1 lead. Husker leadoff man Joe Acker, who hit three doubles in Friday's affair, started the scoring with an RBI double. After another single and intentional walk, Nebraska slugger Cam Chick brought a pair of runs home with a single through the right side. Chick later scored on an error for Nebraska's fifth and final run of the inning.
• Maryland had a big inning of its own, scoring four in the fifth to tie the game. Three consecutive singles from Bednar, Shaw, and Costes set the Terps up for success in the fifth, while Cowles' three-run blast was the shot that tied the game.
• Head Coach Rob Vaughn went to lefty Ryan Ramsey out of the pen, who tossed a respectable three innings of relief, allowing just a single earned run - a solo home run from Max Anderson in the sixth. Maryland responded immediately with a game-tying homer from Shaw, while Shliger's two-run homer gave Maryland the 8-6 lead.
• The Huskers put the pressure on in the seventh, down two runs heading into the inning. Nebraska cut the lead to one run as the Huskers scored on a passed ball with two down in the inning. After a scorless top half of the eighth, Nebraska did more of the same and tried to take advantage in the one-run game. A leadoff walk and sacrifice bunt chased Ramsey and forced the Maryland staff to hand the ball off to Sam Bello. Bello walked the first batter he faced but struck out the next two and stranded a pair of Huskers on the basepaths as he stormed triumphantly back to the cheers of his teammates in the first base dugout at Haymarket Park.
• Maryland grabbed a pair of insurance runs in the top of the ninth, scoring two runs on a wild pitch. Bello worked a perfect bottom half to secure his fourth save of the season and Maryland's 10th win of the spring.
