Despite the rain’s every attempt to ruin the mood around Duane Banks Field this weekend, the Hawkeyes were able to bring the good vibes as they took two out of three against the Boilermakers in their first conference series of the season.
Every game of the series was a tight contest between what appears to be two pretty evenly matched teams - each game was decided in the eighth inning, with Purdue taking the first game of the series and Iowa coming out victorious in the latter two. The Hawkeyes were able to improve their record to 13-9 on the season and are now 2-1 in conference play.
