The Maryland head coach Terry Rupp must have heard me hollering for pitcher Adam Kolarek because he made not one, but TWO relief appearances in the doubleheader today versus Clemson.
In game two of the series, Kolarek came in with two outs and runners on first and second in the bottom of the 6th inning. He allowed one run to score off of a single by Clemson designated hitter Chris Epps before striking out the Tiger second baseman, Mike Freeman, to end the inning.
In the bottom of the 7th inning, Kolarek retired the side. Then, after giving up a lead off double and a walk in the bottom of the 8th, Kolarek came out of the game. Maryland fell to Clemson 7-4.
In game three of the series, the future Daredevil came in again to pitch in the bottom of the 6th inning. This time the game was tied 6-6 with a runner on first. Kolarek picked off the runner to get the second out. Maryland got the third out when Clemson centerfielder Wilson Boyd grounded out to first. Kolarek got the job done, and Maryland went on to win the game 8-6.
I’d say this was a successful road trip because I got to see both Eric Potter and Adam Kolarek pitch. I’m looking forward to another great Daredevils season! 24 more days…
