Seven-Run Inning Lifts Maryland Softball To 8-3 Win At Penn State

STATE COLLEGE, PA — Backed by a seven-run sixth inning, Maryland softball rolled past Penn State, 8-3, on Friday evening. Megan Mikami, Mackense Greico and Jaeda McFarland recorded multi-hit games.

Courtney Wyche tossed a complete game in the circle. The Silver Spring native collected nine strikeouts and surrendered five hits, three walks and three runs over seven innings. Maryland (14-15) picked up its first Big Ten victory of the season and snapped the Nittany Lions' (18-12) eight-game win streak.

Breaking Down The Action
  • Megan Mikami led off the game with a single. Maryland loaded the bases with walks from Haley Ellefson and Taylor Okada but failed to score.
  • Greico's fourth homer of the year gave the Terrapins an early upper hand. In the top of the third, she blasted a solo shot over the center field wall.
  • Maryland broke the game open in the top of the sixth, starting with a two-run double from Regan Kerr. Campbell Kline followed with an RBI single.
  • Back-to-back RBI hits from Jaeda McFarland and Megan Mikami extended the lead. Merissa Borkowski kept it going with a sac fly, and Mikami scored on an error — making it an 8-1 Terrapins lead.
  • Penn State got a run back in the bottom of the sixth on a solo home run from Ally Kurland. The Nittany Lions scored two more times in the bottom of the seventh.
Up Next
  • Maryland and Penn State meet again on Saturday in the series finale.
