Ramsey Under The Friday Night Lights

• In his first Friday night start, Ryan Ramsey the Montvale, N.J., native retired all 27 batters as he became the first Terp since Reitz in 1959 to pitch a perfect game! That 1959 masterpiece against Johns Hopkins was the first-ever Perfect Game in NCAA Division I History.

Bubba Is Blasting

• Alleyne launched a solo home run over the centerfield fence in the bottom of the first inning.

• It was the fifth year’s 14th long ball of the season. That leads the Big Ten.

Breaking Down The Action

• Alleyne’s solo shot gave Maryland a 1-0 lead in the first inning.

• Maxwell Costes and Bobby Zmarzlak crushed back-to-back home runs in the second inning, giving Maryland a 3-0 advantage on a trio of solo blasts. It was the second time this season that the Terps recorded back-to-back dingers.

• Alleyne scored Shliger on an RBI single later in the 2nd, making it 4-0 Terps early.

• Keister and Shliger both ripped RBI singles in the 3rd, putting Maryland ahead, 6-0, and knocking Northwestern starter Sean Sullivan out after 2.2 innings pitched.

• Alleyne kept it going, singling and scoring Keister — making Bubba 3-for-3 with three RBIs in the third inning.

• Shliger came home on a wild pitch and Nick Lorusso hit an RBI single, giving the Terps a 9-0 lead through three innings.

• Lorusso crushed a solo blast to center in the fifth inning. Costes ripped an RBI double, Zmarzlak hit an RBI triple, and the Terps led 12-0 through five.

Costes Keeps Crushing

• Costes now has 36 career home runs, good for second-most all-time in program history.

• He now trails only Paul Schager’s 43, which were hit between 1984-87.

• Costes also got hit by a pitch for the 59th time in his career. He is now eight away from Kyle Convissar’s 67 hit-by-pitch mark, set between 2011-14.
