Terps Fall To Indiana In High-Scoring Affair

BLOOMINGTON, IN  – In a game with a combined 30 runs, Maryland softball was defeated by Indiana, 20-10, in five innings at Andy Mohr Field on Sunday. The game was delayed during the fourth inning due to rain and ended at 11:27 p.m. ET, after starting at 7 p.m., on Big Ten Network. 

The Terps led 8-4 at the time of the delay, but Indiana (24-10, 4-6 Big Ten) plated 15 runs in the bottom of the fourth to take the lead. Maryland is now 15-20 overall and 3-8 in Big Ten play.  

Sydney Lewis scored two of Maryland's three runs in the top of the first with a two-run homer. It was her 14th career home run of her career, including her eighth of the season. The junior has now doubled her home run total from a season ago.
