Iowa baseball opens B1G series at Northwestern Thursday afternoon

Sports

May 17th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

Iowa baseball coach Rick Heller will continue with his revamped pitching rotation for Thursday’s start of a three game Big Ten series at Northwestern. Marcus Morgan and Ty Langenberg moved up a day and Brody Brecht moved from game one to game three and the Hawkeyes responded by sweeping Michigan State. Heller says all three will be working on one day less rest.

The changes worked. The starting pitchers combined for 17 innings of work and gave up only three runs.

Heller says the Hawkeyes are not taking anything for granted but all signs point to an NCAA Regional. Iowa is 37-12 overall 13-7 in the Big Ten.

Iowa finished 36-19 last season but was not given an at-large bid.

Heller believes the Hawkeyes have already done enough to get into a regional.

The Hawkeyes are still waiting to see if they will get leading hitter Keaton Anthony back in the lineup. Anthony has missed the last two weekends as the u8niversity investigates more than two dozen athletes who are accused of on-line gambling.

The series with Northwestern runs through Saturday.

Wartburg is also familiar with regional host Trine University. The Knights lost to Trine earlier this season during a trip to Florida.
