Maryland Rolls Past Toledo 4-0 in Liberty Softball Classic

The Terps tallied a season-high 14 hits while two arms combined for a six-hit shutout.

LYNCHBURG, VA — Maryland pushed a trio of runs across in the sixth inning to claim a 4-0 win over Toledo. Three Terps recorded three-hit days while a pair of arms combined for a six-hit shutout

Bailey Murphy delivered a two-RBI double in the sixth inning to put the Terps on the board and spark a three-run, four-hit frame. Caroline Fox grabbed her fifth RBI of the season with a single, plating Murphy and setting the Terps (6-8) up for a win in their first game of the Liberty Softball Classic. Caitlin Olensky made her seventh start of the season and kept the Rockets at bay all morning. She dazzled across four innings of shutout ball, allowing just three hits and fanning three across 76 pitches. 

Despite Maryland's season-high 14 hits, runs were hard to come by on Saturday morning. Sammi Woods, Logan Turner, and Murphy each tallied three-hit days while Mariah Penta recorded a pair of base hits in Maryland's first-ever win over Toledo.  Turner drove an insurance run home in the seventh with her third hit of the game, marking her first three-hit game as a Terp. Woods recorded her fourth-career three-hit day while Murphy drove a pair of runs home in her second-career three-hit day.  Keira Bucher took over in the circle in the fifth inning, and picked up right where Olensky left off. Bucher threw three innings of shutout ball and earned her third win of 2026, holding Toledo (1-10) to three hits while fanning one.
