NEWARK, DE – Maryland scored six runs in the ninth and 10th innings to pick up a dramatic 13-11 extra-inning victory at Delaware on Wednesday. The game, which was originally scheduled for Tuesday, took place on a windy afternoon and was not short of excitement with the Terps (9-7) totaling a pair of homers prior to the decisive 10th inning.
After Delaware had tied the game in the bottom of the ninth, Luke Shliger’s double down the leftfield line scored Elijah Lambros with the game-winning run in the top of the 10th inning. Jacob Orr’s single scored Shliger for the 13-11 edge.

Matt Woods, who homered earlier in the game, had a two-out, two-run single to score pinch runner Jacob Orr and Matt Shaw to put the Terps ahead 11-10 in the ninth. The Terps loaded the bases with one out in the ninth before an Ian Petrutz bases loaded walk scored the Terps’ eight run, then a Kevin Keister groundout brought Maryland within one setting the stage for Woods’ clutch hit.

Senior Nick Lorusso continued his hot run of form, going 2-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI. With today’s performance the third baseman added to his season totals, leading the team with eight home runs and 26 RBI as he extended his hitting streak to 15 games.
