PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Graduate transfer Connor Schultz was masterful, scattering two hits over eight shutout innings and the University of Iowa baseball team scored 12 runs on 13 hits in a 12-2 rout of No. 8 Rutgers on Saturday afternoon at Bainton Field.

The victory is the Hawkeyes’ seventh straight and secures the road series win.  It is Iowa’s first series win over a top 10 ranked team since 2018 (No. 7 Michigan) and the first road series win over a ranked foe since 2019 (No. 19 Oklahoma State).

“This shows who we are,” said Schultz. “Today and yesterday, this is the team we are. Going out today and showing it against a team like this is huge.  It shows people how good we are.”

Iowa moves to 8-3 in the Big Ten and 23-12 overall.
