I’m getting excited but am waiting for the first few ACC series before expressing any predictions.
Alfredo Rodriguez broke a 1-1 tie with a bases-loaded RBI single in the ninth and Maryland completed an undefeated run at the Keith LeClair Classic with a 2-1 victory over No. 20 East Carolina Sunday afternoon.
The Terps, now 5-1, are off to their best start in 25 years. They last opened the season 5-1 in 1987.
Once again, pitching and timely hitting made the difference. Brett Harman went five innings, allowing just one unearned run on five hits while striking out four. Relievers Michael Boyden,Korey Wacker and Jimmy Reed then went the final four innings without surrendering a hit.
Maryland played the entire weekend – against three teams that had come into the Classic undefeated – without allowing a single earned run. The pitching staff has a 1.24 ERA, a mark that leads the Atlantic Coast Conference.
