What had been a frustrating season finished on a positive note for the Scarlet nine. Facing the second best team in the conference, and the 13th best in the country, the Knights took two of three from Iowa to win their third conference series of the year
Propelled by the pitching performances of senior Jon Young and junior Mark McCoy Rutgers topped No. 13 Iowa (38-14, 19-5), 3-2, to take the series Saturday at Bainton Field.
Factoring in the 5-3 Thursday win, RU became the first team to take a series over UI all season, as the visitors had won eight straight Big Ten sets dating back to last year.
