With the crowd at Bob “Turtle” Smith Stadium standing and clapping in anticipation with two out in the top of the ninth, Maryland senior Jake Stinnett struck out Paul Yanakopulous to became the first Terrapin pitcher throw a no-hitter since 2008 in the Terps’ 4-0 win over UMass in game one of a doubleheader Saturday afternoon.
Scott Swinson was the last Maryland pitcher to throw a no-hitter coming at Delaware on May 13, 2008. The last no-hitter to be thrown at home came against Coppin State on March 28, 2007, when five different Maryland pitchers combined on the effort.
Saturday afternoon, Stinnett only faced two batters over the minimum, both of whom walked, while striking out nine. The reigning ACC Pitcher of the Week retired the final 11 batters of the game. from umterps.com
