COLLEGE PARK, Mary. -- The Minnesota Golden Gophers fell in game two at No. 19 Maryland, 14-5, evening the series at one apiece.

Ike Mezzenga put the Gophers on the board with a solo shot to right in the top of the fourth.
The Terps broke the game open in the bottom of the fourth with five runs. A three-run home run from Matt Shaw and a two-run shot from Matt Woods gave the home team a commanding 9-1 lead.
UMD added five more in the fifth, led by a Matt Woods three-run homer, to go up 14-1. The Gophers added two runs in the sixth after getting two hits, a hit-by-pitch, and two Terrapins errors.
The Gophers would add one more unearned run in the eighth for their fourth run. Easton Fritcher delivered a pinch hit single and came around to score for the team's fifth and final run in the ninth.
