Hawkeyes sweep Gophers for 2nd Straight Year

IOWA CITY, Iowa – An eight-run seventh inning sent the University of Iowa baseball team to a 9-3 victory and series sweep of Minnesota on Sunday afternoon at Duane Banks Field.  It is the Hawkeyes’ second straight sweep of the Gophers.

“Getting a sweep is big, especially at home,” said redshirt sophomore Will Mulflur. “It is good momentum for everyone on the team, especially going into a tough one on the road next week. We have to take care business during the midweek, too, against Bradley.

“It was a good confidence booster with everybody. The pitchers coming out and throwing strikes, always giving us a chance, the offense coming through. It felt like we were able to be who we are this weekend and it worked out.”

The win is Iowa’s 20th of the season, moving the team’s record to 20-12 overall and 6-3 in Big Ten play.

The Hawkeyes will host Bradley on Tuesday at 6:05 p.m. (CT) at Duane Banks Field.
