IU Baseball vs Iowa - 4/30 - 5/2 all on BTN+

Recommended Posts

Really good thing Heller had a brain meltdown as Iowa gets back to back two out doubles to make it 12-8 but Litwicki finishes it to take series in biggest win of year. At 9-8 there and a chopping throw by Espalin ending it is really nail biting time. 

Huge weekend for IU and pending other results we might be back on top.

Well that was a reverse of anything you would expect. IU takes 2 out of 3, despite Iowa beating up on four of our best pitchers (Sommer, Brown, Stahl, Litwicki). They even did better than most against Bierman, although he was solid. If you had told me going into weekend we give up 5 6 and 8 runs each day, I am telling you we just got swept facing two elite lefties. Instead we had by far our best hitting series of year and hit everyone they threw at us.

Heller's late assist helped, but the bats carried us and were spectacular for first time all year. Now it just as hard against red hot Rutgers and Nebraska who is right there. Past our first test, but several more to go and right there for Big Ten Title.
