When facing an offense as potent as Illinois, it doesn’t take much for things to go awry. On Sunday afternoon, a three home run third inning was all the Illini needed to get by the Hawkeyes for a 6-3 win the series finale. Iowa closes Big Ten play with a 14-10 record and could be anywhere from a 4 to a 6 at the Big Ten Tournament. Although Illinois is the Big Ten leader in home runs hit, it was the Hawkeyes that used that long ball to throw the first punch of the game. On the first pitch of the game, Andy Nelson took starter Payton Hutchings over the wall in right-center for a solo home run. T...

Ben Wilmes sent the Illinois faithful packing a few minutes early. They were sticking around hoping to see their Illini make a comeback in the final inning, but a grand slam off the bat of Wilmes in the top of the ninth put the finishing touches on a 10-4 win for the Hawkeyes. His 400 foot blast bounced into the grassy parking lot beyond the left field wall and moments later the ball was not alone, as many fans quickly headed to their cars. After dropping the series opener on Friday night, Rick Heller and Co. bounced back with a win, setting up a decisive series finale on Sunday afternoon. On ...

Illinois Field in Champaign has been the toughest place to play in the entire Big Ten this season. The field generally lends itself to plenty of offense and it’s perfect for an Illinois team that leads the conference in many offensive categories. The Hawkeyes learned first-hand just how dangerous the Illini can be at home on Friday night. Illinois scored multiple runs in the first three innings en route to 10-5 win in the series opener. There was plenty of excitement for Iowa coming into the game. Although slim, they still had a chance to win the Big Ten regular season title and Cade Obermuell...

Obermueller has started ten games for the Hawke...

WEEKEND SERIES: AT ILLINOIS FIGHTINING ILLINI (13-5) (28-16)It’s going to be a wild final two weeks of the Big Ten season, as the Hawkeyes (28-18 / 13-8) can finish anywhere from 1st to 11th in the standings. This past weekend, they kept their slim title hopes alive with a three-game sweep of Northwestern. Four straight hits in the bottom of the eighth inning gave Iowa a comeback win in the series opener, while Brody Brecht was phenomenal on the mound in their 9-1 win on Saturday. Then on Sunday, Kellen Strohmeyer was the hero, delivering a walk off single in the 13th inning. The Fighting Illi...

A common refrain among Iowa wrestlers is that ‘the biggest match in the world is simply the next match on the schedule.’ Now, whether outsiders believe that sentiment to more or less be coach-speak nonsense is up to them. But for Spencer Lee – one (former) Hawkeye who has repeatedly cited that mantra ever since arriving in Iowa City back in 2017 – it has perhaps never been truer than it is right now. This Saturday in Istanbul, Turkey, Lee will take the mat just four wins away from realizing a lifelong wrestling dream – punching his ticket to the Olympic Games. Standing in his way is a deep, ta...

Assistant coach Marty Sutherland alerted outfielder Kellen Strohmeyer around the seventh inning that he needed to stay ready for a potential pinch-hit appearance. The redshirt freshman from Dubuque had not seen an at-bat in 20 Big Ten games and was just 2 for 16 (.125) on the year. However, as the game extended into extra innings, the odds of an appearance for Strohmeyer slowly increased. “Marty came up to me and told me to start thinking about it, so for a few innings there, a few at-bats, I was ready,” said Kellen. “That’s kind of been the year for me. Just sitting around a lot, but you’ve g...

As Brody Brecht walked off the mound for likely his final time in an Iowa uniform, he let out a loud yell directed towards his teammates in the dugout. On his 115th pitch of the day, Brecht struck out Northwestern catcher Bennett Markinson to match his career-high in strikeouts with 13. He was dominate on Saturday afternoon, as the Hawkeyes defeated the Wildcats 9-2 to clinch the series. “It’s just having fun and being proud of the work I put in. Never getting satisfied, but being able to enjoy the wins that you have out there,” said Brody Brecht. “I think sometimes I’m too hard on muyself, I ...

The Hawkeyes didn’t know it, but heading into the bottom of the eighth inning on Friday night, pressure was quickly mounting. In Iowa City, Northwestern had a 3-1 lead with just six outs left to get to secure a series opening victory. Meanwhile, it was the unseen results that were starting to give an uneasy feeling. Maryland, Ohio State and Michigan State had all won their games, which meant an Iowa loss would drop them to 8th place in the standings, just a game clear of the Terps for 9th place. Alarming. Northwestern reliever Matt McClure retired the first two batters of the eighth and the Ha...

WEEKEND SERIES: VS NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS (2-13) (13-27)The Iowa Baseball team stumbles into the weekend with pitching troubles and injuries plaguing them. The Hawkeyes will be without outfielders Sam Petersen (lower leg) and Kyle Huckstorf (hand), while weekend starter Cade Obermueller (undisclosed) is doubtful to make a start. Last weekend, Iowa lost the first two games in Lincoln, but avoided getting swept, picking up a 4-1 win in the series finale. On Tuesday, they earned a come from behind win against Illinois State, but followed it up with a disappointing 21-14 loss to North Dakota State ...
