Four Terps drove in multiple runs in Maryland’s midweek victory.
Jordan Crosland took the first pitch of the afternoon 411 feet to left-center field for his ninth homer of the season to give Maryland an immediate lead. The Terps then loaded the bases, setting Bud Coombs up for a bases-clearing double.
Franklin Pichardo Jr. left the yard a few batters later with a three-run shot of his own as the Terps continued their early barrage. His second-career blast gave Maryland a 7-0 lead in a first inning that saw the Terps bat around. They drew four of their 13 walks in the opening frame as they saw 39 pitches from the two of 11 pitchers used by Mount St. Mary's in the Tuesday midweek.411 feet to open the ballgame!!#DirtyTerps https://t.co/PTboz1wbyG pic.twitter.com/cjv8IMCGHF
