The Iowa Hawkeye baseball team takes a five-game winning streak to Nebraska this weekend for a three game Big Ten Series. The Hawkeyes are currently fifth in the league race with a record of 9-6 while Nebraska is tied for third at 8-4. Iowa coach Rick Heller says the Huskers have the top pitching staff in the Big Ten.
The Hawkeyes got just over 18 innings from the starting staff in last week’s sweep of Rutgers and will need similar success against Nebraska.
Heller says Hawkeye pitchers must limit walks to have a chance.
