Iowa has juggled this weekend’s Big Ten baseball series against Illinois. With the forecast calling for cold weather on Friday the teams will play a doubleheader on Saturday and a single game on Sunday.

That’s Iowa coach Rick Heller. The Hawkeyes are 15-10 after Wednesday night’s 9-8 11 inning win at Bradley and opened the conference race by taking two of three games at Michigan.

The Illini are 5-1 in the Big Ten.

Heller says Iowa’s infield defense will need to be solid.
