Maryland baseball clinched a collection win on Saturday towards No. 25 Iowa with a 7-4 win. On Sunday, it regarded for a giant street sweep towards the Hawkeyes in its first Massive Ten collection of the 12 months.
Maryland was able to take action. It took a 6-1 lead into the underside of the fifth inning, and freshman lefty Kyle McCoy was cruising.
However in that body, two hits and a stroll loaded the bases with nobody out. A floor ball by Iowa redshirt sophomore utilityman Keaton Anthony was misplayed by junior second baseman Kevin Keister, which allowed two runs to attain. It was all downhill from there, as Iowa scored 9 runs within the backside of the fifth on eight complete hits. The five-run Maryland lead was a four-run deficit.
The Terps couldn’t reply to the Hawkeyes’ huge rally, dropping the third and closing recreation of the collection, 12-8. Maryland nonetheless bought a street collection win, but it surely could not end off the Hawkeyes.
Sunday’s recreation began precisely like Saturday’s, as junior catcher Luke Shliger hit a leadoff residence run, giving Maryland an early lead. Regardless of this, Iowa junior right-handed pitcher Ty Langenberg stored the Terps at bay early, putting out six and giving up just one hit in his first three innings of labor.
Iowa responded to Shliger’s residence run with a giant hit of its personal, as redshirt junior outfielder Kyle Huckstorf hit an RBI double to tie issues up within the first.
McCoy and Langenberg traded two scoreless innings, holding it a tie recreation after three innings.
Within the fourth, a leadoff double by Keister was adopted up by a Bobby Zmarzlak no-doubt residence run, extending Maryland’s result in two.
Within the fifth, Shliger was hit by a pitch, and senior third baseman Nick Lorusso singled to place two runners on, extending his hitting streak to 26 video games. After a strikeout by junior shortstop Matt Shaw, fifth-year outfielder Matt Woods, Keister, and Zmarzlak all hit respective RBI singles to stretch the Terps’ result in 5, which pressured Langenberg out of the sport. Maryland then loaded the bases with a stroll by sophomore outfielder Jacob Orr, however stranded the bases loaded with a strikeout.
The Hawkeyes have been unfazed within the backside of the fifth, shortly loading the bases. After Keister’s error at second, graduate utilityman Brennen Dorighi hit an RBI single and Huckstorf adopted with a single of his personal that tied the sport up. That pressured McCoy, who couldn’t report an out in his fifth inning of labor, out of the sport. Junior righty Nate Haberthier got here in for aid, however Iowa’s bats didn’t cease.
Raider Tello gave the Hawkeyes the lead with an RBI single, and sophomore utilityman Sam Petersen walked. Three extra runs shortly crossed the plate, as redshirt junior infielder Sam Hojnar subsequently launched a ball over the middle subject fence. Two extra hits pressured Haberthier out of the sport — he was solely capable of report one out. Sophomore southpaw Andrew Johnson lastly shut down the monstrous Iowa rally with two fast outs.
Maryland chipped away within the sixth, when Shliger and Shaw each reached base on an error and a stroll, respectively, and a throwing error put them in scoring place. Woods knocked one in with a single, and Keister walked to load the bases with one out. Zmarzlak drove residence his fourth run of the day on an infield single, and the lead was lower to 2. However, sophomore first baseman Eddie Hacopian ended the rally by hitting right into a double play that stranded the bases loaded.
Johnson and Iowa freshman left-handed pitcher Cade Obermueller traded two scoreless innings, cooling down the red-hot bats for the primary time shortly.
Within the backside of the eighth, Johnson was pulled after a stroll, and Nigel Belgrave regarded to maintain the Terps inside two headed to the ninth. Iowa woke again up, as Huckstorf hit a single and Tello hit one other to offer the Hawkeyes some insurance coverage. Belgrave loaded the bases however solely surrendered another run after a handed ball by Shliger.
A four-run ninth-inning deficit was an excessive amount of for the Terps, as they dropped recreation three of the collection.
The Terps will face William & Mary on Tuesday and Rutgers subsequent weekend.
Three issues to know
1. Disastrous fifth inning. Three runs, 4 hits, and two free passes lifted Maryland to a five-run lead. Iowa erased it in a heartbeat, although, accumulating eight hits, 9 complete runs, and two walks within the backside of the fifth to show a five-run deficit right into a four-run lead. Maryland couldn’t report its first out until the tenth batter of the inning, a testomony to how poor Maryland’s pitching has been at occasions this season.
2. The underside of Maryland’s order underperformed. Hacopian, Orr and sophomore outfielder Elijah Lambros mixed to go 0-for-12 within the recreation, with Orr and Hacopian each having a stroll. Whereas unhealthy stretches are inevitable, the underside of Maryland’s order was unable to maintain rallies going, both putting out or hitting rally-killing floor balls that damage the Terps’ means to match Iowa’s offense.
3. No sweep, however a giant collection win. Regardless of tough pitching all collection lengthy, Sunday’s recreation doesn’t take away how large this street collection win is for Maryland. Iowa was the one ranked opponent within the Massive Ten headed into the weekend and it had the very best ERA within the convention. Regardless of this, Maryland put up 25 complete runs in three video games, miraculously overcoming a five-run deficit in recreation one and getting a giant win in recreation two.

Maryland issues a new suicide prevention action plan for schools, families – WTOP News
![Maryland issues a new suicide prevention action plan for schools, families – WTOP News Maryland issues a new suicide prevention action plan for schools, families – WTOP News](https://wtop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/SAD_GIRL.GettyImages-1033774340-e1705449585875.jpg)
Suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people between the ages of 10 and 24 in Maryland. That’s according to a new suicide prevention action plan produced through the state’s Department of Health.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people between the ages of 10 and 24 in Maryland. That’s according to a new suicide prevention action plan produced through the state’s Department of Health.
Scott Poland, the director of the Office of Suicide and Violence Prevention at Nova Southeastern University College of Psychology, talked to WTOP about the action plan he authored with his wife, Donna, who is a career educator.
The “Maryland Action Plan to Prevent Suicide in K-12 Schools” serves as a reference guide to school administrators and the community, and was developed in cooperation with the state health department’s Office of Suicide Prevention.
Poland said one thing that surprises people is that children as young as 8 years old may consider taking their own lives.
“I hear from school personnel all around the country (asking if they) have to take it seriously (if a fourth or fifth grader is talking about suicide). And the answer is absolutely yes,” Poland said.
Among the data points in the action plan is a survey of students in the “Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey of 2021/2022.” According to that survey, 21% of high school students “seriously considered suicide” in the past year, and 27% of middle schoolers considered suicide at some point in their lives.
Poland said it’s important to talk about suicide with young people, and that the idea that talking about it might encourage a young person to consider suicide is a “myth.”
“When we actually bring it up, it gives someone a chance to unburden themselves, to realize that they’re not alone, that there are alternatives and that there is help available,” Poland said.
But he said young people are most susceptible to imitating suicidal behavior: “It is important that we not glorify the suicide victim.”
Instead, Poland said, the emphasis after a suicide should be on healing those affected and helping them find appropriate ways to deal with their emotions and mental health.
The plan released this week includes providing intervention action plans for a young person who may be considering suicide.
“Part of that, of course, is removing lethal means and developing a written safety plan with them,” he said.
Poland said that can include helping people understand “the importance of calling 988, doing things that can calm themselves down,” and reaching out to the nearest trusted adult.
People can reach the national resource for crisis response services and suicide prevention by dialing 988.
Poland said social media is “wreaking havoc” on children’s emotional well-being, often making them feel “not smart enough, not rich enough, not good enough.” Poland said he’s currently working with the state of South Dakota on developing tools to help “young people be a little more mindful and make better decisions about their screen time.”
Poland said parents can help — when it comes to the hours and hours that many people spend online — by modeling healthy amounts of screen time themselves. And he said adults need to think about how they introduce technology to their kids.
“We’re in too (much of) a hurry to give kids smartphones and 24-hour internet access,” Poland said.
“I really have to compliment Maryland,” Poland said, on coming up with the new plan.
Poland said Maryland does not have an especially high rate of suicide, but “I think we all recognize that losing one young person to suicide is one too many.”

Getting to know Michigan State football’s Week 2 opponent: Maryland
![Getting to know Michigan State football’s Week 2 opponent: Maryland Getting to know Michigan State football’s Week 2 opponent: Maryland](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_4000,h_2250,x_0,y_0/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/GettyImages/mmsport/137/01j714ppf1xrvce2agzn.jpg)
Game two is coming up for Michigan State football as the Spartans hit the road for an early season Big Ten matchup against Maryland. The Terps have had MSU’s number in recent years, but the Spartans’ new-look team is ready to change that narrative this weekend.
Jonathan Smith and his staff have a lot to work on this week after a lackluster 16-10 win over Florida Atlantic, but we’ve become more than used to slow starts for MSU in their first game so it’s not time to panic just yet.
While the team wraps up their preparations for Maryland, let’s take a quick look at the Terps and see what we can learn about them before the big game on Saturday.
Maryland is off and running in their 2024 campaign and had an absolutely dominant week one performance. The Terps took on UConn at home and came away with an impressive 50-7 win. Sure UConn is an awful football program, but we saw how poorly Michigan State just did against a similar opponent.
Not only was the final score lopsided, but ever major statistical category was as well. Maryland doubled UConn in first downs and rushing yards, threw for nearly 400 passing yards and even won the turnover battle 3-0. The Terps also only had five penalties for 45 yards which is significantly better than MSU’s 12 for 140 yards against FAU.
Sure all of this took place against UConn, but it appears that Maryland is in a very good spot heading into this big week two matchup.
One thing that I thought would be a positive for Michigan State in this game is that Maryland is breaking in a new quarterback as well. The Terps’ quarterback, Billy Edwards Jr., went off against UConn and completed 20-of-27 passes for 311 yards and two touchdowns. He also is a capable runner and added 39 yards on the ground, so Michigan State will have its hands full on Saturday slowing him down.
The Terps don’t have one standout running back in the backfield, so that does benefit MSU. They do however have two solid backs in Roman Hemby and Nolan Ray who both ran for over 60 yards and one score each.
The one player however that Michigan State needs to pay the most attention to is wide receiver Tai Felton. He had one of the best Week 1 performances in the country as he recorded seven receptions for 178 yards and two touchdowns. Thankfully MSU’s defense and secondary looked much improved against FAU, so hopefully that carries over into this weekend’s matchup.
The opportunity in front of MSU on Saturday is massive. The Spartans are big underdogs in this matchup which they probably deserve, but a win would do wonders not just for the overall perception of the team but for their confidence moving forward.
I’ve got a strange feeling that we’re going to be very happy around 7 p.m. ET Saturday night.
