Hawkeyes Drop Regular Season Finale to No. 5 Ducks

Sports

May 18th, 2025 by Christian Adams

IOWA CITY, Iowa – The University of Iowa baseball team was defeated in its regular season finale by No. 5 Oregon, 13-4, at Duane Banks Field on Saturday afternoon.

The Hawkeyes (32-20-1, 21-9) and Ducks (41-13, 22-8) entered the game tied for first in the Big Ten with Oregon securing at least a share of the Big Ten Championship with the win.

“Oregon is playing great baseball right now,” said head coach Rick Heller. “They are a very talented team, as you can see. We knew it was going to be that way because they had a shot still to win the championship, we were going to get their best effort. They were locked in and have been playing their best baseball of the year in the last 12 to 15 games. We knew the challenge and we knew how we had to attack it; we just gave them too much to have any chance of beating a team that good.”

Iowa hit .188 compared to Oregon’s .342 and both teams stranded nine runners.

Reece Beuter got the start for the Hawkeyes and went 2 2/3 innings in his return from injury. He allowed one run on one hit. Ben DeTaeye entered in relief and threw 1 1/3 innings allowing three runs while striking out two, he was tagged with the loss.

Four other pitchers for the Hawkeyes combined to throw the final five innings allowing nine runs while striking out five.

Six Hawkeyes tallied hits in the contest with Jaixen Frost going 2-for-4. Andy Nelson hit a home run and had two RBIs and Mitch Wood and Caleb Wulf added an RBI.

The Ducks scored 13 runs on 13 hits as they plated one in the third, two in the fourth, one in the fifth, four in the sixth, one in the eighth and four in the ninth. Oregon was 4-of-9 with runners in scoring position while the Hawkeyes hit just 1-for-10.

Iowa scored one in the first, one in the seventh and two in the eighth. The Hawkeyes loaded the bases and had the tying run on deck in the eighth inning but couldn’t mount a comeback.

“For this team, to be where they are at is pretty impressive,” said Heller. “It’s not the end, it feels like it now but it’s not the end of the season. That’s what we just talked about, we have a chance to regroup and find ourselves and get back to who we are and go down to Omaha and try to play good baseball again.”

The Hawkeyes return to action at the Big Ten Tournament in Omaha, Nebraska.

Hawkeyes Shutout by No. 5 Ducks

Sports

May 16th, 2025 by Christian Adams

IOWA CITY, Iowa – The University of Iowa baseball team fell to No. 5 Oregon, 10-0, in seven innings on Thursday evening at Duane Banks Field. It is the first time the Hawkeyes have been shut out since losing to Maryland, 4-0, on May 28, 2023.

“It wasn’t like we played poorly,” said head coach Rick Heller. “We had good enery. We were locked in. We hadn’t had a game like that all season long where a team comes out and just beats you. These guys have hung in there and always given themselves a chance to win. If you were in the dugout, you would’ve felt in the seventh that we still had a chance to win.”
Iowa (32-18-1, 21-7) batted .087 and totaled two hits to Oregon’s 11. The Hawkeyes had five base runners the entire game.
“The first innging when we had two guys on, we needed someone to step up and get a hit, and we didn’t,” said Heller. “After that, [Grayson Grinsell] was pretty tough on us. The key is that we went 3-2 seven times, and we lost all seven. That’s kind of our super power is winning 3-2 counts, finding ways to extend innings, getting the pitch count up and getting on base, and he beat us in all seven tonight.”
The Ducks plated one in the first and extended their lead with a grand slam in the fourth. Oregon (39-13, 20-8) hit a two-run bomb in the fifth and smacked two solo dingers in the seventh to go up, 10-0.
LHP Cade Obermueller started on the hill and was dinged with the loss. He gave up eight runs on eight hits, walked three batters and struck out eight. The lefty recorded his 100th strikeout of the season in the first inning. He is the fifth Hawkeye in program history to record at least 100 punchouts in a single season.
“Cade didn’t have his best fastball tonight. He didn’t have his best slider tonight. He went out and competed for us, and unfortunately, we ran into a team that is seeing it well and hitting the ball,” said Heller. “You just tip your hat. They swung it well tonight.”
LHP Bryson Walker came out of the bullpen. He gave up two runs on three hits and struck out a career-high five batters.
“We weren’t great on the mound, but we competed,” said Heller. “I feel like we can walk out of here and hold our head up that we just got beat and wipe it away with a short memory. You come out tomorrow and give the same kind of effort, the same kind of focus, and I think we’ll be in a lot better shape.”
Up Next
The Hawkeyes and Ducks will continue the series with game two tomorrow at 6:02 p.m. (CDT). RHP Aaron Savary will start on the mound for the Hawkeyes. He is 7-1 this season with a 3.66 ERA. The game will be broadcast on Big Ten Network and the Hawkeye Radio Network.
