May 17 | Baseball
COLLEGE PARK, Md.Ā ā Rutgers baseball dropped its series finale to Maryland by a score of 13-11 on Saturday afternoon at Bob Smith Stadium.
Ā

Ā
Rutgers has already clinched a berth in next week's Big Ten Tournament, with seeding and opponents to be determined later tonight.

While Maryland was able to get on the board with a solo homer in the first, RU responded with four in the second.

Matt Chatelle and JT Thompson each doubled in a run before a wild pitch and sac fly from RJ Johnson Jr. made it 4-1.

The Terrapins answered right back with a three-run homer to tie it in the bottom half.

Jack Kirchner came in with one out in the second and got out of the frame with no more runs. He also tossed a scoreless third for 1.2 scoreless innings of relief.
Ā
Charles Batista contributed another two scoreless innings out of the bullpen, striking out a pair.

With one out in the sixth, Maryland hit a solo home run to take a 5-4 lead. The Rutgers offense hung another crooked number in the seventh on a three-run homer from Peyton Bonds, his fifth of season to give RU the 7-5 lead.
