Maryland baseball destroyed by No. 1 UCLA, 12-2, in 7 innings
Brayden Martin took the box after him, hitting a fly ball to center field. With no outs, Hill sped toward second base and began rounding the bases.
But UCLA’s center fielder Will Gasparino caught the ball.
Hill couldn’t beat Gasparino’s throw back to first. As the double play took shape, Maryland’s chance of catching up from four runs behind disappeared.
UCLA then blew its lead wide open, scoring six runs in the bottom of the seventh frame to end the game early, 12-2.
In the bottom of the first with runners on the corners and an out, UCLA’s Roman Martin smashed a ground ball down the left field line for an RBI double. He brought home his teammate Roch Cholowsky to take the lead.
Shortly thereafter, Cashel Dugger obliterated Maryland pitcher Lance Williams’ breaking ball, sending it clear over Bud Coombs’ head in right field for a grand slam. With two outs, the Terps suddenly faced their largest first-inning deficit of the season.
Williams managed to escape a second grand-slam set-up unscathed, striking out a batter to finish the inning.
Martin took the batters box in the top of the third after Aden Hill slid into second base in the previous at-bat. The junior utility man knocked an RBI-double along the left field line, allowing Hill to cross home to put the Terps on the board.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Martin began his own trek around the diamond, reaching first on a fielder’s choice that took Bud Coombs off the bases.
The Bruins loaded the bases, and Williams faced Dean West for the fourth time. After a strike — it followed three straight balls — Williams issued his first walk of the game, bringing home yet another Bruin to increase UCLA’s lead.
Lance Williams’ outing on the mound lasted more than half the game, mildly improving over five innings. In the bottom of the first, the junior gave up 10 bases, five of which came from hitting the batter. Williams began to settle in by the end of the fifth, only allowing one RBI.
The Terps had no problem making it to the bases on Friday, but struggled early to come all the way around the horn. Across five innings, Maryland recorded eight base hits, yet only two runners made it home.
To change that trend, though, Ty Kaunas stepped to the plate in the top of the sixth. The freshman shortstop sent the ball through the 5-6 hole for an RBI single, bringing Paul Jones II home and closing UCLA’s lead to four runs.
Brayden Ryan took over for Williams at the bottom of the sixth, and his tenure on the mound started smoothly. The redshirt junior didn’t allow any runs in the sixth and recorded one strikeout.
After Hill’s base-running mishap in the top of the next inning, though, Ryan didn’t fare much better.
After posting one more strikeout, Ryan let three straight singles pass him by, loading the bases yet again. Just two pitches later, West wore another pitch, allowing Dugger to bank a second run on the day and UCLA’s lead to increase.
Another two-run single one batter later and a hit batter ended Ryan’s day on the mound. Andrew Koshy took over to do damage control, but he hurled a wild pitch of his own for a runner to advance and score.
With two outs left in the inning, UCLA’s Payton Brennan singled through the right side for a two-run RBI, sparking NCAA’s run-rule to end the game early.
1. Bruin batters beware. Maryland’s pitching staff hit eight batters total. Six of the nine UCLA hitters got hit at least once, and two wore a pair of pitches. The Terps almost hit the Bruins with the ball (8) as many times as they hit the ball (9).
2. Scoreboard 180. The last time a UCLA-Maryland game ended early was just one season ago, in 2025. The Terps were on the flip side of the coin though, beating the Bruins, 13-3.
3. Go-to reliever. Koshy has had the most mound appearances for the Terps despite never starting a game, and he’s posted a 5.87 ERA. The junior averages 1.4 allowed runs per game, and he hasn’t allowed a run since March 13.
GLEN BURNIE, Md. (WBFF) — An office building in Glen Burnie was evacuated on Thursday afternoon after its underground parking garage experienced a shift in one of its floors.

See America’s most iconic hot dogs
Welcome to the United States of Hot Dogs! We’ve compiled a few of the best hot dogs eaten across the country.
Although Maryland is often celebrated for its seafood, one over-the-top creation has carved out its own loyal following among locals and visitors alike: The Baltimore-style hot dog.
Sausage is merely its first layer of meat. It’s wrapped in a thick slice of fried beef bologna and piled high with toppings.
It’s proof that while hot dogs are truly an All-American food, their real power lies in how they adapt to local tastes.
Hot dogs were “invented” in the U.S. after German sausages were served in buns. They’re a staple of baseball games — the all-American pastime. And they are truly a democratic food: nearly anyone can afford to enjoy them.
But even more, hot dogs are American because of their adaptability, reflecting the ingenuity and diversity that gives our country such a rich culinary tapestry.
“You can tell the story of America through hot dogs. There are probably other things you could use, other objects or icons, but I think hot dog is a really good one,” said Bruce Kraig, a Ph.D. food historian and author of “Hot Dog: A Global History’ and ‘Man Bites Dog: Hot Dog Culture in America.”
Regional hot dog toppings, from chili in Cincinnati to celery salt in Chicago to jalapeños in the Southwest, tell distinct stories of place.
Here in Baltimore, Maryland, our contribution to the United States of Hot Dogs is the Baltimore-style hot dog.
What is a Baltimore-style hot dog?
At its core, the Baltimore dog is a meat-on-meat masterpiece. It starts with a kosher all-beef sausage that is split, fried and wrapped alongside thick, charred bologna slices.
It’s traditionally topped with raw onions and yellow mustard, with a pickle spear on top or on the side. Some variations include the addition of sweet relish, ketchup or cheese.
“In this creation, grease from the bologna mixes with the grease from the hot dog, and both find their way into the bread to form an unforgettable aroma, taste and aftertaste — and 200 points on your cholesterol count,” Baltimore historian Gilbert Sandler told The Baltimore Sun in a 2019 story.
Where did the Baltimore-style hot dog come from?
Its origins are often somewhat unclear, but it’s believed to have originated during the Great Depression when, according to TasteAtlas.com, “people added bologna slices to the hot dog in order to make it a fuller, heartier meal.”
Jewish delis along Baltimore’s historic “Corned Beef Row” were looking for ways to offer working-class customers a filling, calorie-dense meal for a small chunk of change, leading to the birth of the Baltimore-style hot dog.
First becoming popular in the early 1940s at Mandell and Ballow deli, the bologna-wrapped hot dog spread throughout Baltimore, The Sun reported.
“Despite being a nutritionally questionable combo of two of the world’s least-healthful meats, the bologna dog continues to be a local favorite, enjoyed without apology,” FoodRepublic.com wrote in 2023.

BALTIMORE, MD. – A Hanover man was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison followed by lifetime supervised release on Wednesday for attempting to provide material support to ISIS, federal prosecutors announced.
Michael Sam Teekaye, Jr., 22, pleaded guilty in January 2026 after unknowingly revealing a plot to travel abroad and fight for the designated foreign terrorist organization to an undercover law enforcement officer, prosecutors said.
What we know:
Court documents reveal that between March and October 2024, Teekaye coordinated travel arrangements with a Somali ISIS fighter. His itinerary detailed a flight departing from Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI) to Turkey, with subsequent travel through Ethiopia to cross into Somalia.
FBI agents arrested Teekaye at BWI on October 14, 2024, after he cleared airport security, according to previous FOX 5 D.C. reporting.

Leading up to his arrest, court documents say that Teekaye prepared for his departure by practicing at a Maryland shooting range and attempting to purchase an assault rifle, which was blocked due to an existing state probation status.
Days before his arrest, Teekaye sent the undercover officer a photograph of himself wearing a mask and wielding a large machete, declaring a choice of “victory or martyrdom.”
Following his arrest, prosecutors say Teekaye made multiple unprovoked statements to law enforcement vowing to resume his violent efforts upon his eventual release from custody and threatening the lives of prison guards.
Dig deeper:
Federal authorities noted that Teekaye established a secondary plan to execute domestic terrorist attacks targeting Jewish individuals and institutions supporting Israel within Maryland if his international travel failed. A digital forensic search of his phone uncovered specific search histories focused on Jewish organizations and community members in Howard County, alongside queries regarding home break-ins and escaping murder charges.
A local rabbi impacted by the surveillance spoke during the sentencing hearing regarding the threat’s toll on the community.
