Greico Smacks Two Homers As Maryland Mauls Monmouth, 14-4

CONWAY, SC -- Senior Mackense Greico smacked two home runs as Maryland's offense bombed Monmouth, 14-4 on Friday afternoon at the Chanticleer Showdown. She was one of six Terps to have at least two hits in the game and one of three Terps with three RBIs in the victory.

The Terps (5-6 overall) piled up 17 hits in the slugfest and scored 11 runs in the final three innings.
