⚾️ Keeping it going

​🐢 And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Road Trip. It’s going to take a whole lot more than a canceled Tuesday game to slow down the Terps - Maryland baseball is right back at it tonight in Newark against Delaware.

The Terps come into the Wednesday matchup having scored 141 runs over their past 10 games and just entered the D1Baseball Top 25 this week. The Blue Hens enter the midweek at 21-23 overall, having been swept by William & Mary over the weekend to fall below .500.

🔼 Finished In Style. Maryland softball finished its historic regular season in style Tuesday evening, winning 11-1 over the Towson Tigers.

The Terps offense was off to the races early, scoring three or more runs in each of the first three innings. Amelia Lech had a two-run homer and two-run double in the first two innings, and Mackensie Greico was 2-for-2 in the first tow innings with two RBI doubles.

🔼 Spring Standouts. Maryland head football coach Mike Locksley wants to honor the past while recognizing the future. Thus, Maryland football’s spring award recipients are named in honor of past Terrapin greats and handed out to those on the current roster who best embody those legends.

🔼 It’s A Major Award. As is typically the case when you completely blow through your competition and win every game you play - Maryland baseball has won multiple weekly Big Ten awards.

Matt Shaw earned his second Player of the Week of the season, hitting .522 with 12 hits and four home runs in five games. Kyle McCoy won Freshman of the Week honors for the third time, tossing seven innings against Indiana and allowing just one run in Saturday’s 16-2 win.

🤔 TERPS TRIVIA

Runs, Runs, Runs. It’s starting to become an impossible task to try to even slow down the Maryland baseball lineup. The Terps are averaging more than 14 runs per game over their past 10 games.

Where do the Terps rank among all Division-I teams in terms of total runs scored this year?
