Two Iowa baseball players have been honored by the Big Ten for their play last week. Sophomore righthander Ty Langenberg was named the Co-Pitcher of the Week. Langenberg gave up five hits in a season long seven innings in Sunday’s win over Purdue as he improved to 5-1 on the season.

That”s Iowa coach Rick Heller. Langenberg is part of an Iowa pitching staff that tops the Big Ten with a 3.22 earned run average.

Outfielder Keaton Anthony has been named the Co-Freshman of the Week. Anthony batted .400 in four games, homered twice and drove in seven runs. After missing most of last season with an injury Heller says he has developed pull side power.

Iowa is 12-6 in the Big Ten and opens a three game series at Michigan State Friday night.
