Terps Homer Twice In Big Ten-Opening Loss to Purdue
3/13/2026 4:37:00 PM | Baseball
Lance Williams collected seven strikeouts against the Boilermakers.
The two Big Ten teams each collected a pair of runs across the first two frames. Ty Kaunas plated the Terps' first run with an RBI fielder's choice in the bottom of the first before Jordan Crosland left the yard with a solo shot in the second.
Crosland had a big day on both sides of the ball. His homer in the second marked his fourth of the season, and he made a spectacular diving catch in left field in the fourth to rob Purdue of extra bases.His fourth in his last 8 games!! 💪
