Jones II ignited the offense in the first inning with the Terps' eighth grand slam of the season and his first of the day. He finished with three homers — two of them coming in grand fashion — and 11 RBIs, the most by a Terp in a single game in program history. The previous program record of eight RBIs had been reached by five different Terrapins: Nick Lorusso, Matt Shaw, Will Watson, Tyler Bennett and Jason Mohap. Jones II's three home runs joined Matt Shaw, Justin Vought, Tyler Bennett, Brian Jarosinski and Jason Mohap in the record books.
