Rutgers plays Iowa tonight at the Big Ten baseball tournament in Omaha and the winner will advance to Saturday’s semifinal round. The Scarlet Knights opened with a 5-2 win over Indiana Tuesday afternoon. Iowa took two of three from Rutgers the opening weekend of the Big Ten race.

That’s Rutgers coach Steve Owens who says the Hawkeyes will provide a big challenge.

The Riverside baseball team will be under new leadership this season under new Head Coach Kyler Morgan. The Bulldogs are looking for a fresh start after an 8-14 season a year ago. The Bulldogs will look to a lot of guys that have had minimal varsity experience on the mound this season. Riverside lost six seniors in the offseason who pitched at least ten innings a year ago. Morgan says there are several players he expects to play bigger roles on the bump this spring.

The first-year head coach says he has been impressed with the offseason conditioning but that can only go so far.

Riverside loses three of their top four highest batting averages from a year ago. Junior Aaron Smith comes back after a .341 sophomore season and led the team with 16 runs driven in. Smith also had a share in the team lead with four triples in 2024. Morgan emphasizes many athletes on his roster are very versatile.

The Bulldogs believe they play baseball in an exciting way and want to inspire the kids watching from the stands.

Riverside’s 2025 season with be all about new energy and building that chemistry on and off the field.

AMES, Iowa – For the first time since 2017, Iowa State will play in an exhibition game. The Cyclones will travel to Omaha to face Creighton on Friday, Oct. 17 at the CHI Health Center. A return exhibition game at Hilton Coliseum is scheduled for October 2026.

The last time the Cyclones played an exhibition game was in 2017-18, a 77-68 victory over Emporia State.

While this game will not count in the regular season record, Iowa State holds a 17-15 advantage in the all-time series. The last time the two teams met was in 2021, a 64-58 Cyclone victory in Omaha.

The Cyclones are coming off a 25-10 campaign in 2024-25 with a trip to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Bluejays went 25-11 and also advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. In ESPN’s Way Too Early Top 25, the Cyclones are ranked No. 13, while the Bluejays are among the first five teams outside the Top 25.

Tipoff and TV designation will be announced at a later time.

After squandering a chance to win the Big Ten regular championship the Iowa Hawkeye baseball team is getting ready for Wednesday night’s start of the Big Ten Tournament in Omaha. Iowa’s regular season title hopes vanished with a sweep at the hands of fifth ranked Oregon.

That’s Iowa coach Rick Heller who says the attitude has been good in practice this week.

Heller believes the Hawkeyes can rebound with a good week.

Heller says the starting pitching needs to get deeper into games this week.

Iowa catcher Daniel Rogers says the Hawkeyes view the tournament as a fresh start.

After winning their first eight Big Ten series the Hawkeyes have lost momentum over the last few weeks.

Iowa opens on Wednesday night against Rutgers and the tournament has a new format this year. The Hawkeyes are in a pod with Indiana and Rutgers. Those teams are playing this afternoon in Omaha and Iowa needs to beat the winner of that game to clinch a spot in Saturday’s semifinals.

The Hawkeyes play Indiana Friday afternoon.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – The University of Iowa baseball team had eight student-athletes earn Big Ten recognition, it was announced Tuesday by the league office.

Juniors Cade Obermueller and Aaron Savary and redshirt sophomore Reese Moore earned first-team All-Big Ten honors. Redshirt senior Reece Beuter and graduate student Daniel Rogers were second-team selections. Senior Ben Wilmes earned third-team honors. Jaixen Frost was named to the All-Freshman team, and redshirt freshman Max Burt was Iowa’s Big Ten Sportsmanship recipient.

Iowa’s seven All-Big Ten selections give head coach Rick Heller 47 selections in his 12 seasons in Iowa City. Heller has coached at least one first-team All-Big Ten selection in 10 of his 11 seasons when awards were handed out (there were no honors in 2020). Iowa is the only school with all three of its weekend starters earning honors.

Obermueller earned first-team All-Big Ten honors after going 4-3 with a 3.30 ERA in 14 regular season starts. The lefty posted four quality starts and fanned 107 batters over 76.1 innings. His 107 punchouts leads the Big Ten and ranks fourth in program history in single-season strikeouts. The Iowa City, Iowa, native is tied for 14th in the nation and leads the conference in strikeouts per nine innings (12.62).

Savary earned first-team All-Big Ten recognition after going 7-1, including 5-0 in conference play, with a 3.74 ERA in 14 regular season starts. The right-hander recorded a team-high six quality starts and struck out 81 batters in 77 innings of work. He tied his career-high with 10 strikeouts against Washington on May 3.

Obermueller and Savary are the seventh and eighth starting pitchers to earn first-team All-Big Ten honors under Heller.

Moore earned first-team honors after hitting .319 with a team-high 45 RBIs and .577 slugging percentage. He had 27 extra base hits (16 doubles, nine home runs and two triples) during the regular season. The Van Meter, Iowa, native hit .305 in conference play with nine doubles, six home runs and 26 RBIs.

Beuter earned second-team honors after posting a 6-0 record and ranking fourth in the conference with a 3.14 ERA in 13 regular season starts. He held opponents to a .196 batting average and fanned 66 over 63 innings on the hill. Beuter recorded five quality starts, including seven innings of shutout baseball against Washington on May 4.

Rogers also earned second-team recognition in his first year of Big Ten play. The Loras College transfer hit .262 with 11 doubles, seven home runs and 41 RBIs in 47 regular season starts. He posted a standout performance in Iowa’s three-game sweep over Indiana on April 25-27, hitting .600 (6-for-10) with two doubles and a home run.

Beuter and Rogers are the 15th and 16th players to earn second-team All-Big Ten honors under Heller.

Wilmes was the lone Hawkeye to recieve third-team honors. The outfielder out of Johnston, Iowa, hit .313 with 41 RBIs and a career-high seven home runs during the regular season. He is the second Hawkeye outfielder to earn third-team recognition during Heller’s tenure.

Frost batted .316 with 23 RBIs and 12 extra base hits in 37 regular-season appearances. He hit .309 in Big Ten play with 15 RBIs, six doubles and two home runs. He is the fourth Hawkeye to make the All-Freshman team under Heller.

Burt was selected as Iowa’s Big Ten Sportsmanship Award recipient. The distinction is presented to student-athletes who display sportsmanship and ethical behavior, are in good academic standing and demonstrate good citizenship outside of athletics.

The Hawkeyes open Big Ten Tournament play tomorrow, facing 10th-seeded Rutgers at 6 p.m. (CDT) at Charles Schwab Field Omaha. The game will be televised on Big Ten Network and broadcast on the Hawkeye Radio Network.
