The Gophers continued their run through the bottom half of the Big Ten Tournament, taking down Iowa 3-0 in what was a must-win game for the team. Pitcher Cam Baumann danced around trouble all night, but put together a good line overall, allowing just one run on three hits, despite walking five batters.
Minnesota scratched across three runs, which felt like eight, as the team held a slim 1-0 lead until the ninth when Easton Bertrand led off with a bunt single and stole second before Jordan Kozicky drove him in. Eli Wilson came up big with a two-out double to add another run and closer Brett Schulze shut the door with a hitless inning for his ninth save of the season.
