Terps Smack Eight Doubles In 14-4 Win Over Indiana

Freshman Ty Kaunas logged a four-hit day in the Terps’ series-evening win.

COLLEGE PARK, MD — Maryland scored early and often in its 14-4 win over Indiana as the Terps evened the weekend series on Saturday at Bob "Turtle" Smith Stadium. Maryland used a pair of five-run innings to move to 16-19 (3-11 Big Ten) in 2026. 

Ty Kaunas recorded a four-hit, three-RBI day against the Hoosiers. He reached base five times in the win, marking his best offensive performance of his young career. Logan Hastings tossed a complete-game in Maryland's third run-rule win of the week, marking the Terps' first complete-game effort since 2024 and the first in Big Ten play since Ryan Ramsey's perfect game in 2022.

Maryland took the lead with a hit parade in the second inning that featured five-straight knocks from Colin Gibbs, Jordan Crosland, Brayden Martin, Kaunas, and Paul Jones II. Crosland's two-RBI double tied the game before Kaunas' double plated Crosland as Maryland took the lead.  Jones II ripped a double off the wall in center field to plate another run before a bunt from Nate Hawton-Henley extended the lead in the Terps' five-run, six-hit inning. The Hoosiers' early lead they took with a three-run, four-hit first inning disappeared as Indiana went to the bullpen.  The bottom of Maryland's order brought two insurance runs home in the fourth, giving Hastings a cushion. Hastings got the start on the bump and settled in after the first inning to limit Indiana to four runs on his seven innings of work.  Aided by a trio double plays and some incredible defense from the Terps, Hastings was able to make his second-longest outing of the season as he collected five strikeouts and only allowed six hits. He recorded the Terps' first complete-game effort of the season. Maryland blew the game open with a five-run fifth inning that featured Kaunas' fourth hit of the day, a ground-rule double from Devin Russell, and another RBI knock from Jones II. The Terps hit a season-high eight doubles as they forced a Sunday rubber match.   Russell walked the Hoosiers (14-20, 6-11 Big Ten) off with a homer in the seventh to enact the run rule and mark his third hit of the afternoon. The Terps go for the series win on Sunday at 12 PM.  How it Happened:
