Box Score

NEWARK, DE – Four Terps recorded multiple RBIs, and Aubrey Wurst pitched her fourth complete game of the season as Maryland softball defeated Delaware, 11-1, in a run-rule at Delaware's Softball Stadium on Wednesday. Maryland improved to 17-25 on the season, sweeping Delaware in its two matchups this season.

Despite Delaware (31-14) scoring the game's first run, Maryland scored 11 unanswered runs with several different Terps pitching in. Wurst made her ninth start in the circle and dominated throughout the contest. She improved to 7-2 on the season while allowing only one run on four hits. She also struck out two Blue Hens.

Sam Bean (3 RBIs), Sydney Lewis (3 RBIs), Julia Shearer and Caitlyn Cornwell all finished with multiple RBIs. Bean's runs came on a two-run homer in the fourth inning, keeping the Blue Hens out of reach of climbing back in the game. It was her seventh homer of the season and 15th of her career. Bean also led the Terps with three runs scored.
