(Omaha, Nebraska) – The Iowa Hawkeyes baseball team clobbered Michigan Saturday morning, in Omaha, and advanced to the Big 10 Championship game this (Sunday) afternoon. Ty Langenberg, from Urbandale, tossed seven brilliant innings with zeroes on the scoreboard while waiting for his offense to heat up, then watched as the Iowa bats chipped in with the necessary insurance to remove all tension.

That productive blend propelled the Hawkeyes to a 5-0 win and a spot in Sunday’s championship game, where Iowa (42-13) will face regular-season champion Maryland at 2 p.m.

The Terps are headed back to the Big Ten Tournament Championship Game for the first time since 2015 after beating fourth-seeded Nebraska, 4-2, Saturday afternoon at Charles Schwab Field Omaha. They  reached their second-ever B1G Tournament final, winning 40 games in a season for the fourth time in program history and the second year in a row
