For the second time this season, the UMBC baseball team (8-11) will take on Maryland (16-3) at Bob Smith Stadium in College Park. The game was originally scheduled for UMBC's Alumni Field, but moved due to the ongoing construction project at the UMBC Stadium complex. The first pitch is set for 4:00 p.m. and UMBC will be the home team for this game.   

A Glance at the Retrievers

• UMBC snapped a four-game slide with Sunday's 10-9 victory over UAlbany. The Retrievers had dropped the first two games of the America East series by scores of 2-1 and 11-9 and improved to 3-7 in games decided by one or two runs.
• Senior outfielder Ian Diaz (Philadelphia, Pa.) clubbed his first home run of the season, a three-run clout to give UMBC a 3-1 lead after one inning. The Danes rallied to lead, 6-4, but sophomore shortstop Drew Roberts' (Matthews, N.C.) bases- clearing double in the sixth restored a 7-6 lead for the hosts. UMBC extended the advantage to 10-6 before the Danes rallied for three runs in the eighth. Freshman reliever Evan Selmer (Beltsville, Md.), who did allow an earned run in four innings over the weekend, pitched the ninth and earned his second save.
• Graduate student Myles Nicholson (Hagerstown, Md.) bounced back from a 1-for-9 batting line in the first two games to collect 11th multi-hit game of the season in the finale. He leads the team with a .419 batting average and has nine extra-base hits.
• Junior catcher Tony Krueger (Appleton, Wisc.) cracked his first long ball as a Retriever in game two and his 3-for-3 effort raised his batting average to .320. Roberts has driven in a team-high 16 runs on 18 base hits.   

A Glance at The Terrapins
 

• The Terps are 16-3 and have not lost at Bob Smith Stadium (9-0) this season.

The Series

• Maryland leads the all-time series, 32-11-1 and has won 12 consecutive games. UMBC's last victory occurred in 2005, a 9-7 victory in College Park.
