COLLEGE PARK, Md. – For the fourth time this season, the Indiana Baseball team (14-21, 6-12 B1G) was walked off in the final game of a weekend. Maryland (17-19, 4-11 B1G) hit a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to complete an 8-6 comeback victory in Sunday's (April 12) rubber match. It's the fourth series loss in conference play this year for the Hoosiers.

Junior right-handed pitcher Jackson Yarberry worked around trouble in the middle innings to give IU a chance to win the game. He carried the Hoosiers to the ninth inning with a two-run lead, even recording the first out in the final frame. A hit and a walk brought in veteran right-hander Michael Sarhatt (L, 0-1) who allowed the game-winning home run to the Terrapins.

Without the services of sophomore outfielder Hogan Denny, IU got a much-needed jolt from the bottom of its lineup. Redshirt junior outfielder Ayden Crouse provided three hits including a go-ahead solo home run in the fifth inning. Sophomore first baseman Jake Hanley followed that up with a two-run blast to take a three-run advantage. IU's final run came on a three-base throwing error that allowed Crouse to score in the sixth.

IU will stay on the road for one more game as it heads to Indiana State for a midweek contest on Tuesday (April 14) evening. First pitch in that contest is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on ESPN+.
