The UMBC Baseball team will begin a four game road trip as they face host Coppin State at nearby Joe Cannon Stadium on Tuesday afternoon at 3 p.m.

The Retrievers (9-9, 2-1 AE) are coming off taking two of three from visiting Maine in the America East opening series for both teams. UMBC took the first two games by scores of 7-5 and 11-5, before dropping a 4-3 heartbreaker in the finale.

Scouting Coppin State (3-15, 3-6 NEC)  

Marcus Sanders hit a walk-off three run double to lift the Coppin State baseball team to a thrilling, 17-16 NEC victory over Maryland Eastern Shore on Sunday afternoon at Joe Cannon Stadium.  
 
Trailing, 16-13 entering the ninth, Armando (AJ) Hurtado led off the inning with a solo home run to left center to cut the deficit to two. Following a groundout, Nelson Grajales doubled, followed by a single from Kenan Harvey and a walk to Agustin Murillo, Jr.  With a full count, Sanders lined a 3-2 pitch to the left field wall, scoring all three runners easily and sending the home team into a frenzy.
 
The four-run ninth inning was part of a rally that saw the Eagles score 14 runs over the final four innings and come back from a 5-0 deficit after the top of the second.
 
Sanders was one of six Eagles with multi-hit games and one of two with three hits as he joined Murillo in that category. Sanders finished 3-for-4 with two runs, four RBI and two walks while Murillo also went 3-for-4 with four runs, two RBI and two walks. Noah Hogan, Pedro Agosto, Hurtado and Harvey all had two hits apiece with Hogan and Hurtado driving in three runs each. Agosto also drove in a pair of runs.
 
Mekenna Wakakuwa received the win in relief, retiring both batters he faced in the ninth. Aaden Lopez gave up five runs in 2.0 innings in the start, but Nicco Holland pitched 5.1 strong innings of relief, allowing just three runs on four hits while striking out seven before Justin Ritz was charged with six runs in his lone inning of work.
