Breaking Down The Action
- Alex Calarco, Elijah Lambros and Jacob Orr walked in the top of the second to load the bases with one out. Charlie Glennon grounded out to score Calarco and VCU's pitcher walked another to load the bases again. Lambros scored on a passed ball. Leadoff hitter Eddie Hacopian then notched the first hit of the game with a two-RBI single. Maryland led 4-0 on just one hit.
- VCU got on the board with an RBI double to left field by Ethan Iannuzzi. It was his second double of the game. Iannuzzi stole third base and the next batter drove him home on a sacrifice fly. VCU cut the lead in half, trailing 4-2.
- Glennon cranked a solo home run to left field in the sixth inning to take a 5-2 lead. It was the transfer's first career home run as a Terp.
- VCU got two baserunners on in the sixth with one out and the tying run at the plate. A single through the left side scored the runner from second but a double play ended the inning to prevent further damage. The Terps led 5-3 entering the seventh.
- Lambros cashed in another run for Maryland with an RBI single in the seventh.
- In one swing, Aden Hill tied the game up with a three-run home run in the seventh. Eli Weisner added a solo home run during the inning as well. Overall, VCU recorded a 12-run inning to take a commanding 15-6 advantage.
- Maryland scored one run on an RBI ground out by Michael Iannazzo in the ninth.
"Just a tough way to lose a ball game. We had way too many mental errors in that seventh inning that allowed it to keep going and get out of hand. We gave away too many outs, and sometimes innings like that can pile on as guys get a little tight. We get a chance this weekend to go out there and put something like this behind us."
