U of Maryland – New Mid Atlantic Champion.
University of Maryland, 2018 Mid Atlantic Champion.
Overcast and 50 degrees on Saturday, brief glimpses of sun on Sunday but temps dropped to 43 followed the pattern of the Mid West and North East Championships of the previous weekends. Games were Live Streamed on both days with Scoring, Graphics and video by Cricclubs, whilst LLoyd did the commentary with appearances by Sahil Patel, Drexel and Husnain Bashir, UMD.
Due to rain on the previous days and nights plus morning drizzle a late start Saturday reduced the games to 15 overs each. The Live Streamed games can be found under ‘Videos’ on the American College Cricket page.
