The number 24 University of Iowa Hawkeye baseball team used an eight-run eighth inning to rally past the Purdue Boilermakers for a 10-5 series-clinching victory on Saturday afternoon, at Alexander Field in West Lafayette, Indiana. The Hawkeyes are 5-0 in Big Ten play for the first time since 1989 and alone atop the league standings. Hawkeye Sports.Com says the Hawks finished with 12 hits in the game and matched a season-high with 10 runs. Three players posted multi-hit games, and eight different players scored at least one run.

Iowa goes for its second-straight series sweep Sunday in a noon (Central Time) start. You can hear that game following our Sunday morning church services, here on KJAN.
