IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Northwestern's Mason Reed pitched 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball to hand the 14th-ranked University of Iowa baseball team a 4-1 loss to close out the series in game two of Saturday's doubleheader at Duane Banks Field.
The Hawkeyes (26-11, 10-2) took 2-of-3 games during the weekend series --its fourth-straight Big Ten series win and seventh overall this season. The Wildcats are 11-26, 4-8.
