Sophomore outfielder Marty Costes (Archbishop Curley) reached base four times, scored twice and drove in two runs to lead No. 22 Maryland to a 9-7 win over Alabama State (0-3) in Clearwater, Fla. The Terps (1-2) fell behind early but used a six-run fourth inning to take control of the game. In the first start of his college career, freshman Tyler Blohm (Archbishop Spalding), allowed five hits and three runs (two earned) in five innings to earn the victory. Blohm was a 17th-round pick by the Orioles in this summer's draft but decided not to sign with his hometown club in July to honor his commitment to Maryland. Five Terps had multi-hit games and senior Nick Cieri finished with a game-high three RBIs.

More college baseball: Sophomore second baseman Nick Dunn had three hits and three RBIs, but No. 12 Louisville got past Maryland, 10-7, on Saturday night in Clearwater, Fla. The Terps (0-2) outhit the Cardinals 12-10 but could not overcome five errors. Junior Taylor Bloom of Crofton, who gave up six runs (three earned) in three innings, took the loss.
