Any hopes of a Terps baseball sweep over No.3 North Carolina were destroyed this afternoon in a five run UNC third inning, which put them up 6-0.
Coach Terry Rupp pulled starter Ian Schwalenberg in the third after a he gave up a lead off single to UNC star Tim Federowicz. At the time the Terps were down 1-0 and even though Schwalenberg hadn’t been perfect, he hadn’t been horrible either. No word on if Schwalenberg suffered an injury- it was raining in the early innings.
Meanwhile, senior Kevin Biringer came in and UNC never looked back. It’s 14-1 in the top of the ninth as I post this. The Terps are on their eighth pitcher of the day, and it’s catcher/first baseman Mike Moss in his first career appearance.
And what do you know- Moss retires the side in order. This game has to make you laugh sometimes.
