LaMonte Wade hit two home runs as part of a four homer effort to help Maryland defeat third-ranked Virginia by the score of 7-6 in its ACC Championship opener Thursday at NewBridge Bank Park. The Terps (35-19) recorded eight hits on the afternoon, six of which went for extra bases, to win their school record 35th game of the season.
Wade’s two solo home runs were half of the total the Terps hit Thursday. Kevin Martir and Charlie White each added one marking Maryland’s first four home run game since 2009, when the club totaled four against James Madison on April 28.
The turning point in the contest came in the Terrapin half of the seventh with the game tied at four. After Anthony Papio was hit by a pitch with two outs, Martir blasted his second home run in as many games to put the Terps up by two, the first two-run advantage for either team.
