Wake Forest twice rallied from a deficit, scoring three runs in both the fifth and sixth innings, and outlasted Maryland for a 9-6 victory Saturday afternoon at Wake Forest Baseball Park.
Maryland (11-3, 0-2 ACC) had also rallied from two deficits – scoring three runs in the fourth for a 3-1 lead, then two runs in the sixth to take a 6-5 lead. But Wake Forest (13-4, 2-0 ACC) tallied three runs in the bottom half of the sixth to take the lead for good.
Terrapin reliever Michael Boyden (2-1) was saddled with the loss after allowing three runs – two of them earned – on three hits in 1 2/3 innings. Starter David Carroll allowed five runs on four hits in four innings but didn’t factor into the decision.
Maryland had taken the lead in the fourth inning when they rallied for three runs with two outs. After Kyle Convissar was hit by a pitch, Michael Montville drove him in by hitting his second home run of the season on a shot to left field. K.J. Hockaday then got on base with a walk and was ultimately driven in by Alfredo Rodriguez when he singled up the middle.
