With right-hander Hunter Parsons over 100 pitches in his first-career Friday night start, pitching coach Corey Muscara visited the mound in the middle of a 2-0 count to tell his starter the next two batters were his regardless of the result.

A dominant Friday performance and a couple of Marty Parties. The Maryland Terrapins' series-opening 15-7 victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers felt a lot more like a 2017 performance — and a much needed one.

Many times in their inconsistent 2018 season, the Maryland Terrapins had desperately needed a big hit. Often, it didn't happen. In Saturday's contest with Michigan State in East Lansing, the Terps didn't need that big hit, as they were rewarded free bases early and often.
