COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- The University of Maryland baseball team won its sixth-consecutive game on Sunday, taking down Minnesota 6-3, and completing the three-game series sweep of the Gophers.

What You Should Know

Maryland turned in a wire-to-wire win in the Sunday series finale, never trailing against Minnesota.
The Terps got offensive production out of everyone in the lineup, as eight of the nine Maryland batters recorded base hits and all nine reached base safely.
Redshirt sophomore right-hander Sean Burke got the start on the hill, tossing three scoreless frames before giving way to the bullpen. The Sutton, Mass. native struck out a pair and safely navigated his way out of jams with multiple runners in scoring position in both the second and third innings.
Logan Ott, David Falco, Ryan Ramsey, Connor Staine, and Sam Bello all made pitching appearances out of the bullpen and combined for six innings of three-run ball.
Matthew Shaw, Maxwell Costes, and Tommy Gardiner all notched multiple hits on the afternoon.
Justin Vought got the Terps on the scoreboard with a two-run blast well over the scoreboard in left field in the second inning.
Maryland would tack on two more runs in the fourth as a Gardiner two-run single extended the Terrapin lead to four.
Logan Ott tossed a scoreless fourth before surrendering a pair of homers in the fifth. Falco relieved Ott to limit the damage and worked out of the inning successfully,.
In the home half of the sixth, Matt Orlando doubled home Benjamin Cowles with a deep liner to the left-center gap.
Falco returned for the sixth where he struck out the first batter he faced, walked the next, then forced a pair of flyouts.
Ramsey took the mound for the seventh and worked a clean inning, giving up just a single hit.
The Terps loaded the bags in the bottom of the seventh on a pair of walks and a single but were unable to push any runs across.
Staine took over to pitch in the eighth, working out of the inning without allowing a run. Staine struck out three - including the last batter with a pair of runners on the bases and the potential go-ahead run at the plate.
Maryland exhausted the Gopher bullpen in the eighth, facing three different arms, and getting an insurance run on a Costes RBI single.
Head Coach Rob Vaughn went to his closer in the ninth, as Bello retired the side in order to earn his sixth save of the year.
