Kohn smacks grand slam to pace offense
Facing its second "Power 5" foe in as many weeks, GW fell behind early by allowing two homers in the first inning, but responded with a long ball of their own, a grand slam from Michael Kohn in the second inning.
The lead grew to 5-2 in the fourth via a Tim Nicholson RBI groundout. All of that came in support of first-year hurler Max Haug, who authored five strong innings, allowing just two runs on six hits with four strikeouts.
Maryland, though, took advantage of the GW bullpen with a run in the sixth and then a back-breaking six tallies in the home half of the eighth. Back-to-back, two-out homers in the frame lifted the Terps to a lead they would not relinquish despite a rally attempt from GW in the ninth.
The Buff & Blue will now hope for some home cooking this weekend at Tucker Field at Barcroft Park in a series vs. Manhattan. First pitch on Friday is set for 3 p.m.
