OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Eli Wilson had two hits and drove in two runs, helping Minnesota eliminate Iowa in the Big Ten tournament with a 3-0 victory on Friday night.

Wilson had an RBI single in the third inning and an RBI double in the ninth inning for the fourth-seeded Gophers (28-26), who advanced to meet seventh-seeded Ohio State in the semifinals on Saturday. If they win the first matchup with the Buckeyes, they must beat them again to make it to the championship game on Sunday.

Gophers starter Joshua Culliver scattered four hits without a walk over 4 1/3 innings, and Ryan Duffy added 3 2/3 scoreless innings of relief.

Jordan Kozicky added an RBI single in the ninth and Brett Schulze got the save, striking out Chris Whelan looking to end the game with runners at second and third at 12:49 local time to cap a long day at TD Ameritrade Park. Iowa lost 11-1 to Nebraska in the afternoon, a game postponed by a rainstorm the night before.

Ben Norman went 3 for 4 for the eighth-seeded Hawkeyes (31-24).

OMAHA, Neb. — The University of Iowa baseball team took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second, but proceeded to allow 11 unanswered runs to fall 11-1 in eight innings to fifth-seeded Nebraska in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament on Friday at TD Ameritrade Park.

Iowa’s run-rule loss puts the Hawkeyes into the loser’s bracket where it will face No. 4 seed Minnesota in an elimination game at approximately 8:30 p.m (CT).

Iowa starting pitcher Grant Judkins (4-7) lasted just 1 1/3 innings, allowing four earned runs on five hits and two walks. The control issues continued for Iowa’s bullpen, who walked eight batters in relief.

In the second inning, Iowa used two singles and a walk to score the game’s first run, but that was all the Hawkeye offense had to show for. Senior Mitchell Boe had Iowa’s lone RBI with a single to left field.

Following Boe, senior Chris Whelan left the bases loaded with a fly out to centerfield. Nebraska took advantage of the missed opportunity in the bottom half of the second scoring four runs.

After three hits and two walks, the Cornhuskers took a 2-1 lead, bouncing Judkins from the game. Senior Jason Foster relieved Judkins, allowing two inherited runners to score, giving Nebraska a 4-1 lead through two.

Iowa’s offense couldn’t capitalize on putting the leadoff hitter on in the third, fourth, and fifth innings, while Nebraska added a run in the third and another four-spot in the fifth inning to lead 9-1 through five.

Nebraska delivered its final blow in the eighth inning after a leadoff triple and a sacrifice fly to end the game via run-rule.

UP NEXT

Iowa will face fourth-seeded Minnesota tonight at 8:30 p.m. (CT) in an elimination game. Sophomore left-hander Cam Baumann (4-4, 5.49 ERA) will start for the Hawkeyes.

The Boys State Singles and Doubles Tennis Tournaments begin Today in Cedar Rapids for Class 2A and Waterloo for Class 1A. Due to wet conditions and rainfall both tournaments are beginning play indoors and will move outdoors later if weather permits.

In Class 1A Singles play Nile Petersen and Grant Sturm of Atlantic will be in action. Reed Miller of St. Albert will also be competing.

In Class 1A Doubles Clarinda’s duo of Brady Williams/Alex Best and Denison-Schleswig’s Sean Moran/Chad Reis will be competing.

Boys State Golf will not be played on Friday in all classes due to wet weather conditions, so Thursday’s results will be the final standings. That means that Atlantic’s Matt Gearheart will take home a 3rd place medal in Class 3A. Will and Everett Carroll of Exira-EHK were awarded 6th place medals in Class 1A.

Widespread heavy rainfall across the state on Thursday night created soggy conditions at all three sites in Fort Dodge (3A), Marshalltown (2A), and Newton (1A). Due to the wet conditions, anticipation of more potential rain, and course integrity play was canceled for Friday.
