The Buckeyes must play their best baseball down the stretch of the season if they hope to make the Big Ten Tournament.
There are only three weekends left in the Big Ten regular season, and Ohio State will need to play its best baseball if it hopes to secure a berth in the conference tournament at the end of the month in Omaha.
At 8-7, the Buckeyes currently occupy the eighth and final tourney-worthy spot in the Big Ten standings, but their opponent this weekend, Iowa, is lurking just one game back. To say this is a crucial series for the team would be a massive understatement.
