Offensive Highlights: Pitching Breakdown:  
HOW IT HAPPENED
Maryland struck early and often against the Boilermakers, plating 6 runs in the first three innings. Kendall Klochack started on the mound for Purdue, but was replaced by Emma Bailey in the third inning, who worked out without further damage.
 
In the bottom of the third, Ashlynn Campbell picked up the first hit of the day for the Boilermakers with a single to right field, but was stranded. 

The Terrapins plated two more runs in the top of the seventh to bring the lead out to 8-0.
 
In the bottom of the seventh, Delaney Reefe reached base on a hit to center, and Julia Gossett reached on the third error of the day. The Boilers plated their first run of the day on a sacrifice fly from Jordyn Ramos, to break up the shutout.
 
In the end, the seven-run deficit was too much for Purdue to overcome.
 
UP NEXT
Purdue will close out the weekend in Devon Park with a final game against Maryland on Sunday, Mar. 23 at 11:00 a.m. ET. The Boilers will then head on the road to take on No. 21 Nebraska for a three-game series.
