COLLEGE PARK, MD – Maryland baseball was defeated by UCLA in game three of the series, 11-5, at Bob "Turtle" Smith Stadium on Saturday. The Bruins (12-4, 2-1 Big Ten) also took game one on Friday, giving them the series win. The Terps are 8-7 overall and 1-2 in Big Ten play.

UCLA scored all 11 of its runs on nine hits in the top of the second, and Maryland was never able to overcome the double-digit deficit.

Aden Hill finished the contest going 3-for-4 at the plate, driving in the Terps' first and second runs of the game with an RBI double in the third inning and an RBI single in the fifth.
