Senior Nick Day slammed a dramatic two out homer to left field in the bottom of the ninth as the 15th ranked Iowa Hawkeyes edged Ohio State 3-2 in the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament in Target Field. It was a huge hit for the Solon native who sat out a portion of the season with an injury. And it was Iowa’s 39th win of the season as they advance to play Michigan on this (Thursday) afternoon. Iowa coach Rick Heller says he will send junior Blake Hickman to the mound against the Wolverines.
