After pulling off its first series win of the season, Maryland baseball is headed back to College Park for its first midweek match up, facing DMV rival Georgetown for its home opener.
The Terps will host the Hoyas on Tuesday at 7 p.m. The game will stream on Big Ten Plus.
Georgetown Hoyas (1-2, 0-0 Big East)
2025 season: 16-40, 3-18 Big East
Georgetown struggled last season, losing five weekend series in three straight games. The Hoyas did find some success last season against Maryland, though, winning two of their three midweek contests.
Georgetown played against Winthrop to open its season, dropping two of three games. After two losses by at least 10 runs, the Hoyas rounded out the weekend with a 8-3 victory.
For head coach Edwin Thompson, travelling to College Park is somewhat of a homecoming. Thompson played at Maryland for one season alongside Terps’ head coach Matt Swope in 2002, batting .250 and recording 12 RBIs in 34 appearances.
Hitters to watch
Jeremy Sheffield, senior first baseman, No. 36 — After missing two seasons of play, Sheffield has quickly climbed to the top of the Hoyas’ leaderboard. The senior infielder is 6 for 11 with a team-high four RBIs over the past three games, and was 3 for 4 in Georgetown’s recent win
Connor Peek, graduate shortstop, No. 15 — Peek made his debut as a Hoya this season after spending three seasons with Holy Cross, currently sitting at 5 for 10 with two RBIs for the season. The graduate shortstop posted one of Georgetown’s three runs in the first game of the doubleheader, and posted two runs in Georgetown’s evening win.
Dylan Larkins, sophomore center fielder, No. 16 — Larkins’ helped the Hoyas gain their only win of the season by scoring two runs on Saturday night. The sophomore was also one of three Hoyas to steal a base against Winthrop.
Pitchers to watch
Spencer Seid, left-handed graduate pitcher, No. 5 — Before transferring to Georgetown before the 2026 season, Seid averaged about 1.27 strikeouts per inning at UC San Diego in 2025. In Saturday’s second game, the graduate student threw six strikeouts in five scoreless innings.
Andrew Moy, right-handed graduate pitcher, No. 30 — Moy missed the 2025 season due to injury while playing for Swarthmore College. The right-hander took the mound for the first time in two years on Saturday, throwing an inning of scoreless relief.
Strength
Roster experience. Almost two thirds of Georgetown’s roster is at least a junior, and 13 players have transferred in. The Hoyas bring a lot of experience in collegiate baseball to the field.
Weakness
Defensive consistency. In only three games, 16 different Hoyas have taken the pitching mound. Georgetown allowed 29 runs across that season-opening series. Maryland has the chance to capitalize on those inconsistencies.
Three things to know
1. From navy blue to black and gold. Maryland assistant coach Brock Keener worked as a volunteer, then as an assistant coach at Georgetown for three years before becoming a Terp in 2024. Keener was part of the Big East Coaching Staff of the Year in 2021 while at Georgetown.
2. History in the DMV. Maryland’s matchup on Tuesday marks the 92nd game between the Terps and Hoyas. Maryland leads the series all time, 65-26.
3. Weekday winners. Maryland has won seven of their last 10 mid-week openers. Their most recent Tuesday win came against Mount St. Marys, where the Terps dominated the Mountaineers 14-3. However, Maryland fell to Delaware in its first Tuesday game of 2025, 13-10.
