Savacool and Keister lead Maryland into Big Ten title game, defeating Nebraska 4-2
OMAHA, NEB. (AP) — Jason Savacool pitched six shutout innings, Kevin Keister drove in two runs and Maryland advanced to the Big Ten Tournament championship game, defeating Nebraska 4-2 on Saturday.
Maryland will play Iowa for the championship on Sunday. The top-seeded Terrapins last played in the championship game in 2015.
The Terrapins picked up three runs in the second inning when Elijah Lambros drove in a run with a bunt single, and two outs later, Keister drove in two with a single to left.
Savacool (8-5) allowed four hits, struck out six and walked two before Kenny Lippman relieved in the seventh. Lippman threw two scoreless innings before Nigel Belgrave opened the ninth.
Nebraska rallied against Belgrave, who walked the first three batters he faced. Andrew Johnson replaced Belgrave and gave up a single and a sacrifice fly before getting out of the jam for his first save of the season.
Jackson Brockett (2-2) took the loss after being charged with all three Maryland runs in the second inning. Three Nebraska relievers allowed one run and five hits over the final seven innings.
Cole Evans went 3 for 3 with one RBI for the fourth-seeded Cornhuskers.

Eye Drops Recalled In MD Over Fungal Contamination
MARYLAND — A major eye drop brand has issued a product recall in Maryland and across the United States for possible fungal contamination, which officials said could cause an eye infection and threaten users’ vision.
Alcon Laboratories is voluntarily recalling one lot of their Systane Lubricant Eye Drops Ultra PF, Single Vials On-the-Go, which are in a 25-count package and are used to relieve dry eyes. The Texas-based company got a customer complaint of foreign material inside one of the sealed vials, which was determined “to be fungal in nature,” according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
If the contaminated drops are used, the fungus could cause an eye infection that may threaten the users’ vision and is potentially life-threatening for immunocompromised patients.
No customers have reported an infection thus far, according to the FDA recall announcement.
These recalled eye drops were shipped to retailers nationwide and also are available online, the FDA said.
The affected Systane Lubricant Eye Drops Ultra PF, Single Vials On-the-Go is limited to lot number 10101, with an expiration date of September 2025. They come in a green and pink carton and are sold in quantities of 25. The lot number and expiration date are printed on the back of the box and each vial.
Any customers who have these eye drops in their homes are advised to stop using them immediately and return them to the place of purchase for a replacement or refund.
Alcon Laboratories is also notifying all its distributors and customers about the recall, and asks any retailers or distributors who still have these eye drops in stock to recall them.
Consumers with questions regarding this recall can contact Alcon Laboratories at 1-800-241-5999 between 8:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. (Eastern), Monday to Friday. Anyone who experiences any problems that could be related to this product should contact their physician or healthcare provider, the FDA said.
