After Game 1 against No. 1 UCLA ended in the seventh inning due to the run rule on Friday, Maryland baseball was out for revenge.
Maryland
Maryland baseball drops second straight conference series, falls 8-3 to No. 1 UCLA
Its bid for vengeance was strong, as it outhit the Bruins Saturday, 13-10. But it couldn’t keep up on the scoreboard.
The Terps ultimately fell to UCLA, 8-3, at Jackie Robinson Stadium in Los Angeles. Maryland has now lost their second Big Ten series in a row after losing two out of three games against Purdue last weekend.
With two outs in the top of the first inning, catcher Rylen Stockton collected his 13th RBI of the season with a double to left field, giving Maryland a one-run head start.
But UCLA didn’t allow the Terps to hold any sort of lead for long.
In the bottom of the first, Bruins’ infielder Roman Martin tied the game with a double RBI. With two runners on base, Payton Brennan blasted a home run over the left field wall on his first pitch, making it a 4-1 game.
Maryland senior Aden Hill recorded his third home run of the season to give the Terps another run in the top of the second.
The Bruins responded quickly, extending their lead in the bottom of the third with a sacrifice fly to center field by Will Gasparino. That hit was followed by another RBI by Cashel Dugger, giving UCLA a four-run advantage.
Maryland scored its last run of the game in the top of the fourth inning, as redshirt junior Devin Russell launched his second double of the season to bring in the Terps’ third run.
With the bases loaded, sophomore right-handed pitcher Cristofer Cespedes took the mound in place of Evan Smith in the bottom of the fourth. After walking one runner to make it a 7-3 game, Cespedes closed the inning with a strikeout and fielder’s choice to third base.
Cespedes dominated the mound, holding the Bruins entirely scoreless until the eighth inning. The sophomore threw seven strikes and only allowed five walks through the 19 batters he faced.
The Terps created multiple scoring opportunities but struggled to follow through, recording 13 hits and only three runs. At least one of Maryland’s runners were left on base at the end of each inning aside from one.
Tensions began to rise in the eighth inning.
Maryland kicked off the frame with a walk, which was followed by a single by freshman Nate Hawton-Henley — his second hit of the game in his third start of the season.
UCLA inserted its third pitcher, Chris Grothues, with two runners on base. Grothues struck out Hill, but the Bruins replaced him with Cal Randall after he only threw four pitches. Randall recorded his first strikeout, but walked junior Brayden Martin to load the bases.
The Bruins were quick to replace Randall with their fifth pitcher of the game, Easton Hawk. David Mendez stepped up to the plate with hopes of bringing home at least one of the three runners on base. Instead, he grounded out to second base on his first pitch.
In the bottom of the eighth, Cespedes walked Phoenix Call before striking out Dean West. With one runner on base, Cholowsky blasted a double down the left field line, bringing Call home and making it an 8-3 game.
After walking another batter, Landon Edwards replaced Cespedes and recorded the final out with a strikeout.
Maryland had one last chance in the top of the ninth to bring in more runs after two walks, but it failed to do any significant damage.
The Terps will try to avoid the sweep during Game 3 on Sunday.
1. Maryland’s bullpen was much more reliable Saturday. During Game 1, Maryland’s bullpen hit six batters total — two were hit twice. While the Terps threw seven strikeouts on Friday and eight on Saturday, four fewer runs were allowed.
2. The Terps’ offense improved since Game 1. Maryland’s bats seemed to move a lot more on Saturday compared to Friday. The Terps recorded one more run than the day before, but also registered four more hits. The Terps were also more calculated while facing UCLA’s pitchers during Game 2, walking four more times than in Game 1.
3. Can Maryland avoid the sweep? On Saturday, the Bruins went through five pitchers to keep up with the Terps. Although Maryland lost by five runs, it was five fewer runs allowed than in Game 1, where they were destroyed 12-2 in a contest that ended in the seventh inning. If the Terps keep their bats moving, they may have a chance of avoiding the sweep. Sophomore Jake Yeager will take the mound for Game 3 — he has only lost one game out of his five starts.
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.
The Anne Arundel County Fire Department initially responded to the 7300 block of Ritchie Highway around 2:30 p.m. on July 9 after reports of a partial building collapse.
However, the department later clarified that there has been no collapse of the 10-story building.
Officials said crews are evaluating the building’s structural integrity after work was being performed in the parking garage.
All occupants were safely evacuated, and no injuries have been reported, according to Fire Captain Jenny Macallair.

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.
