Maryland baseball stomps Wagner, 21-4, clinches series victory

Story byTestudo Times StaffSun, March 1, 2026 at 2:32 AM UTC·3 min readAfter barely squeaking out a walk-off victory on the first game of its series against Wagner, Maryland baseball needed to set the tone early in its Saturday matchup. The Terps gave up four runs through five innings to Wagner, a team that ranks 194th in Division I in runs scored, could have been a cause for concern. But by that time, the Terps had scored 13 of their own. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe bats were rolling Saturday for Maryland baseball. Eight Terps drove in runs in a 21-4 rout over Wagner at Bob “Turtle” Smith Stadium, as they secured a series victory in their first homestand of the year.“We came out with the same, you know, everybody come out together and work hard,” Martin said.

Key Highlights

  • “We keep the same mentality and keep going to tomorrow.”Pitcher Evan Smith got the start in his first appearance this season.
  • He served in an opener role for freshman Nic Morlang, who was the Terps’ starter in the first two Saturday games. Smith held up in his two innings, allowing two runs while walking three batters and punching out two.
  • But by the time Morlang came to relieve him, the game was well out of hand. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementFirst baseman Ryan Costello’s RBI single kickstarted Maryland’s pummeling of Wagner, scoring Brayden Martin.
  • On the very next batter, Paul Jones II hit a three-run home run to extend the Terps’ first-inning lead to 4-0. Costello didn’t wait long to make his next impact.
  • With the bases loaded via two walks and a bunt single, he mashed his team-high sixth home run — and the team’s first grand slam of the year — over the wall in left-center field. Morlang came in for Smith in the third inning.
