OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Ryan Feltner pitched six scoreless innings while striking out six and Ohio State blanked Iowa 2-0 on Thursday, knocking the Hawkeyes out of the Big Ten Tournament. Tyler Cowles and Kobie Foppe each knocked in runs for the Buckeyes (35-21), who will meet the loser of Thursday’s Michigan-Purdue game on Friday in another elimination game. The first of Foppe’s three hits put Ohio State up 1-0 in the first inning, and Cowles made it 2-0 on a double in the fifth. Seth Kinker pitched three innings of one-hit ball for his 14th save.
Cole McDonald (3-2) took the loss for Iowa, whose season is likely over barring an unexpected invitation to the NCAA Tournament. The Hawkeyes (33-20) had just five hits and scored only once in back-to-back defeats in Omaha.
The Atlantic baseball team will travel to Red Oak tonight for their second game of the season and we’ll have it on KJAN. The Trojans opened up the season with a 7-2 win over Logan-Magnolia on Wednesday night.
The Trojans are coming off a 12-20 campaign in 2017 and lost just one senior off that roster. Chase Mullenix, Chase McLaren, Kolton Mudd, Jayden Trotter, Cooper McDermott, Mason Goergen, and Noah Bruckner all return as options on the mound for Coach Gaylord Schelling. McLaren, Mullenix, and Bruckner are the top returning bats for the Trojans.
Red Oak comes in with an 0-1 record after an opening loss to Shenandoah 9-3 on Tuesday. The Tigers had a 7-21 record in 2017 and also lost one senior in top hitter Carlos Guerra. Asher Hinshaw is the top returning pitcher for the Tigers finishing with a 1.76 ERA last year in 14 appearances.
We’ll have coverage of the game tonight with pregame at approximately 7:15pm and first pitch at 7:30pm. You can listen on AM1220, FM101.1, online at kjan.com, or on the KJAN mobile app.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Drew Butera had a two-run single in the 10th inning and the Kansas City Royals earned a 5-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Butera’s RBIs were his first since May 2. Jon Jay followed with an RBI single as the Royals won their first series since taking three of four from Detroit May 3-6.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Jess Franklin hit a game-winning sacrifice fly to lift third-seeded Michigan past Iowa 2-1 in 10 innings to open the Big Ten Tournament. Franklin also homered for the Wolverines, who held the Hawkeyes to just one hit _ and none after the second inning.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Eli Wilson drove in the go-ahead run in the fifth inning and Minnesota pitchers limited Michigan State to five hits in a 3-2 victory in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament. The top-seeded Gophers have won 22 of 25 games. Brett Schulze pitched 3 2/3 shutout innings in relief of starter Jake Stevenson, and freshman closer Max Meyer got the last five outs for his conference-leading 15th save.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Quinn Snarskis and two relievers combined on a two-hitter and Michael Massey’s three-run homer broke open the game in Illinois’ 7-1 victory over Indiana in the Big Ten Tournament. The Illini play top-seeded Minnesota on Thursday night. Snarskis transferred to Illinois after Division II St. Joseph’s College closed last year and became Illinois’ No. 1 starter. He pitched 4 1/3 perfect innings before Luke Miller singled.
