Aden Hill homered and plated two in Maryland’s Saturday victory.

TROY, AL — The Maryland bats and bullpen combined for a strong 9-3 win over Troy to even the weekend series on Saturday evening. Aden Hill and Brayden Martin combined for four hits and four runs — while Ryan Costello picked up a three-hit day — as the Terps (9-5) picked up their first-ever win over the Trojans.

Maryland's offense didn't waste any time getting started on Saturday. David Mendez recorded his second straight multi-RBI game with a two-run shot to left field in the top of the first inning. His third homer of the season gave Maryland its first lead of the series.
