3/30/2019 8:31:00 PM | Baseball
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Indiana baseball (16-10, 4-1) strung together 20 runs on 18 hits, including nine home runs, to earn a 20-5 victory over the Maryland Terrapins on Saturday to even the series at one game apiece.
KEY MOMENTS
• Junior Matt Gorski led off the game with a double to the left-center gap, stole third and scored on an RBI single by sophomore Drew Ashley.
• Senior Matt Lloyd hit the first of his two home runs in the top of the first, as his two-run shot and a balk later in the frame plated three runs to give the Hoosiers a 4-0 lead.
• After Maryland plated a run in the bottom of the first on a solo home run, Lloyd hit his second home run in as many innings with a solo shot in the second.
• Freshman Grant Richardson hit the first of his three home runs with solo shot to center in the third inning.
• The Hoosiers had a seven-run fourth inning. Senior Cade Bunnell singled to third, Lloyd walked and sophomore Elijah Dunham singled to score both runners. Sophomore Cole Barr followed with a two-run home run to make it a 10-1 game.
• Later in the frame, Richardson singled, junior Jeremy Houston doubled and Gorski drilled a three-run homer to make it 13-1 after four.
• That was followed up with a five-run fifth inning. Lloyd doubled to right, Dunham and Barr walked, and Richardson hit a grand slam to make it a 17-1 game. Bradley knocked out a solo shot to cap the five-run fifth.
• Bradley's second home run of the game came in the top of the seventh.
• Richardson hit out his third home run in the ninth. The Terps came back in the bottom half and plated four runs, resulting in a 20-5 score.
NOTES
• The Hoosiers' 20 runs are a season-high and the most since scoring 22 vs. Northwestern on April 14, 2018.
• Indiana's nine home runs are the most since having nine vs. Morehead State on March 10, 2009.
• Additionally, the nine home runs are most in a single-game for any team in the country this year. The next most is six, which has been done by eight teams.
• IU has now hit 48 home runs this season. The Hoosiers entered the weekend first in the Big Ten and third nationally in round trippers.
• Six different Hoosiers recorded multi-RBI games on Saturday.
• Richardson set new career-highs in hits (5), home runs (3), RBI (6) and runs (4). The three home runs are a freshman record at Indiana.
• He is the first Hoosier to get three home runs in a game since Logan Sowers had three vs. Ohio on June 3, 2017 in the Lexington, Ky. NCAA Regional.
• He now has four, three-plus hit games just 12 games into his freshman campaign.
