A three-run seventh-inning sent the University of Iowa baseball team to a 5-3, series-clinching victory over Nebraska Saturday night, at Haymarket Park in front of the Huskers’ largest home crowd since 2015.  The win gives Iowa its second Big Ten series victory this season and moves the Hawkeyes’ record to 22-11 overall and 5-3 in Big Ten play. It is Iowa’s first series win in Lincoln.

Iowa starter Ryan Erickson recorded his first win of the year, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits. He struck out six batters in six innings. Nebraska starting pitcher Derek Burkampeer, a Muscatine, Iowa, native, suffered the loss, giving up three runs on six hits in 6 1/3 innings.

The Hawkeyes will go for the series sweep this afternoon (Sunday) just after 2-p.m. The game will be televised live on BTN.
