Iowa baseball coach Rick Heller says the Hawkeyes need to clean up mistakes as they get ready to enter Big Ten play. The Hawkeyes are 12-9 after taking two of three from Central Michigan over the weekend.

Opponents are hitting only .189 but Hawkeye pitchers have walked and hit 133 batters so far.

Heller says it has cost them some big wins against a challenging non-conference slate.

Today’s (TUESDAY’S) game at Illinois State was canceled due to expected cold conditions. The Hawkeyes open Big Ten play Friday at Michigan.
