Terps Suffer 15-4 Defeat To Hoosiers In Game One

Box Score COLLEGE PARK, MD – Maryland baseball suffered a 15-4 defeat to Indiana in game one of its series at Bob "Turtle" Smith Stadium on Friday.

Maryland (21-9, 3-4 B1G) scored the first run of the game with a home run by Eddie Hacopian in the bottom of the first inning. It was his third homer of the season. However, the Terps only added three runs the rest of the way, all occurring in the fourth inning. 
  Indiana (17-14, 2-2 B1G) matched the Terps' scoring output in the fourth inning alone. They added another four runs in the eighth and ninth innings to put the game out of reach. 

Jacob Orr, Alex Calarco and Jordan Crosland brought home the other runs for the Terps. Orr finished the game 2-for-3 with a double and a run. 
  Kenny Lippman started on the mound and pitched six innings. He struck out five batters before handing the duties off to Evan Smith, Logan Ott and Duke McCarron. 
  Nick Mitchell finished 4-for-5 with four RBIs and four runs, Joey Brenczewski went 4-for-5 with three RBIs, and Jake Stadler went 3-for-5 with three RBIs to anchor the middle of the lineup for the Hoosiers. 

Ty Bothwell earned his fourth win of the season by pitching six innings and striking out seven batters.

Swope's Take 
"I think it's more about the middle of the game than anything," head coach Matt Swope said. "After being punched back like that getting into a closer game. We just got to find something. I think maybe the last stand right there was Hojnar's rob to right in the seventh. He had a really really good swing, had two men on right there. That baseball. It's a homer right there and It's tied."
