Coming into their conference series against Ohio State, Iowa baseball had been blistering hot, having won 9 of their last 12 games. After starting their conference slate off with a series split against Indiana and series win in Champaign, the Hawks had a chance this weekend to keep the momentum going before heading to Lincoln, NE next weekend.
The Hawks did just that, winning two of three games against the Buckeyes to improve their Big Ten record to 5-3 on the season. It’s now been nearly a calendar year since the last time they lost a series in conference play, as you’d have to go all the way back to April 21-23 of 2017 when they dropped two of three to Rutgers.
