The Terrapins added two runs in the fourth inning and two in the sixth to extend the lead. A nine-run eighth inning and a single run in the ninth for Maryland made it 16-1. A Carter Mathison home run in the ninth accounted for the final score.
A pair of Hoosiers moved hitting streaks to 12 games, as sophomore Josh Pyne and senior Phillip Glasser each collected hits. Pyne was 2-for-4 with an RBI, while Glasser used a fifth inning base hit to move his streak along. In the process, Glasser pushed his reached base streak to 44 games. Mathison homered for the second time in as many games.
Sophomore Luke Sinnard (4-1) took the loss with six runs allowed on 10 hits with four walks and four strikeouts. All four pitchers that appeared in the game allowed at least one run.
The Maryland offense was paced by a four-RBI day from Matt Woods and three RBIs from Kevin Keister. Luke Shliger and Matt Shaw each accounted for two RBIs, with each of them hitting home runs. Kyle McCoy (4-5) worked seven innings and allowed one run on five hits to earn the win.
