Hacopian Hits Grand Slam In Loss To Hoosiers, 7-6

Box Score BLOOMINGTON, IN – Eddie Hacopian hit a grand slam in Maryland baseball's 7-6 loss to Indiana in game one at Bart Kaufman Field on Friday. Maryland is now 17-22 overall and 4-12 in Big Ten play. 

Hacopian's home run occurred in the top of the second inning, breaking the game open and allowing Maryland to jump out to an early lead. The senior first baseman has 23 home runs in his career, including six this season. The grand slam was also Maryland's seventh of the season. 
  However, Indiana (21-17, 11-8 Big Ten) plated five runs in the bottom of the eighth to tie the game at 6-6. Will Moore then drove in the walk-off run in the bottom of the ninth with an RBI single with two outs. 

Redshirt sophomore pitcher Kyle McCoy had a strong outing in his 10th start of the season. McCoy pitched seven innings and threw a career-high 110 pitches. He allowed just three earned runs and walked one batter while striking out eight. He struck out five or more batters for the seventh time this season, doing so in seven of his last eight games.  
  Jacob Orr (RBI single) and Alex Calarco (RBI double) each drove in a run. Calarco finished with multiple hits for the 19th time as a Terp, going 2-for-4. Both came around to score a run.
