The Maryland Terrapins (19-6) and the Georgetown Hoyas (16-8) both relied on the long ball Tuesday, but the Terps’ offense got the last laugh in Tysons, Virginia.

The Terps started off their afternoon in Northern Virginia hot.

After Brayden Martin struck out, a Georgetown error, Eddie Hacopian single and Kevin Keister walk loaded the bases for Sam Hojnar. Maryland’s second baseman delivered, slamming a line drive double to right field, scoring two runs.

Georgetown tried to respond in the bottom half of the inning. Jake Hyde led off with a single, then another single from Christian Ficca and a pitch into the side of Owen Carapellotti loaded the bases for the Hoyas. But Ryan Van Buren escaped the inning, forcing an infield fly and a groundout.

The bullpen day got worse for Georgetown in the second. The Hoyas pulled starter Marshall Whitmer after his two-run first inning and brought in Carson Frye. Devin Russell couldn’t have been happier for that move. Maryland’s catcher took Frye deep to left field to extend the Maryland lead.

The Georgetown offense got to work in the second.

Ashtin Gilio led off the bottom half of the second with his first NCAA home run, cutting the Terps’ lead back to two. Blake Schaaf followed with a four-pitch walk and a steal to put a runner in scoring position for the Hoyas. Ryan Van Buren would settle in after that steal, forcing three consecutive flyouts to escape the inning.

Maryland’s offense continued their explosive offense in the third.

With two outs, a hit by pitch for Alex Calarco combined with walks by Sam Hojnar and Jacob Orr loaded the bases for Devin Russell. Russell walked, scoring a run and keeping the bases loaded. Elijah Lambros answered the call, smoking a Frye pitch to center to give Maryland an 8-1 lead.

Georgetown tried to claw back into the game with a little bit of offense in the fifth. After Jacob Orr robbed Christian Ficca of extra bases with a catch at the wall, Owen Carapellotti took Van Buren deep on a two-run shot. Nate Haberthier had to finish out the inning. He kept it at 8-3 Maryland after five.

Ryan Van Buren had an up-and-down start. While he only allowed three runs, Maryland’s starter surrendered five hits and two walks in his four and two-thirds innings. Even though he got himself out of a few jams, Van Buren only recorded one strikeout against Georgetown’s hitters.

The Terps had their last offensive burst in the sixth.

With two outs, Eddie Hacopian singled to center to pick up his fourth hit of the afternoon. Kevin Keister followed with a home run to left, and Sam Hojnar made it back to back on the next pitch.

Haberthier had a solid relief outing. He stranded his one inherited runner in the fifth, then tossed a scoreless sixth to keep the Hoyas at three.

Omar Melendez was Matt Swope’s next call to the bullpen. Aside from Owen Carapellotti’s solo home run in the seventh, the junior lefty had a good outing for the Terps. In two innings Melendez struck out two Hoyas.

Logan Ott was the final pitcher to take the mound for the Terps. He threw a scoreless ninth, retiring all but one of the Georgetown hitters he faced.

A great all-around outing for the Terps. They will look to keep the momentum going when they travel to Ann Arbor for a weekend series with Michigan.
