Getting runners on base was not a problem for Maryland baseball against Michigan State. The problem was sending them home.
Down three runs in the bottom of the ninth, Chris Hacopian was the tying run at the plate. But a hard-hit ball led to a double play, sealing a 5-2 defeat. The Terps left eight runners on base Saturday.
Michigan State jumped out to an early lead for the second straight day, taking advantage of an error by Eddie Hacopian to score the game’s first run. It then aded another run when freshman second baseman Ryan McKay hit an RBI single.
