Wake Forest was shut down in large part by Maryland starter Steve Schmoll who threw a complete game, allowing four runs, only one of which was earned, on seven hits. He did not issue a walk while striking out five batters and retired 12 straight batters between the fourth and the seven as the Terps extended their lead from two runs to seven runs.
The Terrapins got to Wake Forest starter Scott Siemon with five runs in just over three innings. Siemon had never surrendered a run to Maryland through 16 career innings until Saturday's game. He took the loss to fall to 2-1 on the season in just his second ACC start of the season after missing six weeks with a shoulder injury.
The Deacon offense, which produced a season-high 20 runs on 20 hits the night before, scored four runs on seven hits despite four Maryland errors. Of the team's seven hits, only Ryan Johnson's RBI double in the fourth was of the extra-base hit variety.
Wake Forest was not without its chances, however. The Demon Deacons had a runner on second with no one out in the fourth after Johnson doubled home Jamie D'Antona. Wake Forest trailed just 4-1 at the time. Johnson was stranded at third.
The Demon Deacons and the Terrapins will wrap up the weekend series, the last regular season ACC game for Wake Forest, on Sunday afternoon at 1:00 p.m.
