No. 23 Terps Fall 4-3 To Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – The No. 23 Maryland baseball team dropped the series finale against the Minnesota Golden Gophers 4-3 on Sunday afternoon at Siebert Field. The Terps (25-7, 4-2 Big Ten) gave up a run in the bottom of the eighth on a passed ball that proved to be the difference. 

Down by two runs in the seventh, Maryland managed to tie the game on the backs of RBI singles from Chris Alleyne and Nick Lorusso. 

Troy Schreffler Jr. went 3-4 with an RBI double in the second inning, followed by a single and a drag bunt. Luke Shliger also had a multi-hit game, going 2-5 with a pair of singles. Alleyne finished the game 2-4 with an RBI single.  

Jason Savacool started on the mound for the Terps and seven six innings, striking out seven batters and allowing three runs.
