IOWA CITY, Iowa – The University of Iowa softball team dropped a doubleheader to Minnesota on Friday afternoon at Pearl Field, suffering a 6-2 decision in game one in nine innings, and an 11-1 run-rule decision in game two.

Minnesota completed the sweep after notching an 8-0 run-rule victory over the Hawkeyes on Thursday.

LINCOLN, Neb. — The University of Iowa baseball team split a doubleheader at Nebraska on Friday at Hawks Field at Haymarket Park.  The Hawkeyes posted a 7-1 victory in game one before the Cornhuskers evened the series with a 10-4 win in game two.

The doubleheader split sees Iowa sit at 21-11 overall and 6-4 in Big Ten play. The rubber game of the series is scheduled for 1 p.m. (CT) Sunday — weather permitting — and it will be televised on ESPNU.

Game 1 | Iowa 7, Nebraska 1
Junior Nick Allgeyer went seven strong inning, allowing one unearned run and fanning four to lead the Hawkeyes to a 7-1 victory in the opening game of Friday’s doubleheader.

After allowing one unearned run on two hits in the first, Allgeyer (4-3) surrendered just three hits over the next six innings to record his fourth victory of the season.

Iowa’s offense finished with 10 hits in the contest and scored the game’s final seven runs.  Sophomore Justin Jenkins drew a two-out walk in the second before sophomore Ben Norman followed with a single to right field.  Jenkins tied the game, scoring off a wild pitch.

GAME 2 | Nebraska 10, Iowa 3

Nebraska’s offense awoke to the tune of 10 runs on 10 hits and three Husker pitchers limited Iowa to five hits in game two — a 10-3 Husker victory.

Iowa grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first when junior Robert Neustrom hit a one-out home run to right center field — his sixth home run of the season.  Nebraska answered with a pair of two-run home runs from Jesse Wilkening and Angelo Altavilla in the third to knock Iowa starter Brady Schanuel from the game.

After Iowa closed the gap to 4-3 on a two-run home run from Tyler Cropley in the fourth, it was all Nebraska.  The Huskers scored one in the fifth, four in the seventh, and one in the eighth, roughing up the Hawkeye bullpen.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Yadier Molina heard the boos again. Then he came through again, sending the Cincinnati Reds to their lowest point since 1955.

Molina homered and drove in three runs Friday night, leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-3 victory that deepened the Reds’ opening slump and added to his legacy against them.

The catcher has gotten booed loudly at Great American Ball Park — even during the 2015 All-Star Game — by fans who haven’t forgotten his scuffle with Brandon Phillips in 2010. They boo louder every time he delivers another game-turning hit.

He’s still got the touch.

“Yadi continues to just get better,” manager Mike Matheny said.

St. Louis came into the series with a stagnant offense but broke out during two games against the worst pitching staff in the majors, piling up 18 runs and 25 hits. Molina has homered in each game, giving him a team-high five this season.

Molina’s 21 career homers against the Reds are his most against any team.

The Reds lost their sixth in a row and have the worst record in the majors at 2-11. They also lost 11 of their first 13 games in 1955. Another loss on Saturday would produce their worst start since 1931.

UP NEXT

Cardinals: Miles Mikolas (1-0) faced the Reds in 2012 and 2013 as a Padres reliever. He has yielded eight runs in 12 innings in his two starts for the Cardinals.

Reds: Left-hander Brandon Finnegan is expected to come off the DL and make his first start of the season. He strained his left biceps during spring training.
