Iowa takes two of three from the Terps with strong pitching and timely hitting.
After a sluggish start to the season in non-conference play (going 7-11), Iowa baseball opened Big Ten play by taking two of three games against Maryland. The wins gave Iowa their first series win of the season and improved their record to 9-12 overall. There's certainly still plenty of work to do, but this was a very good way to start off the Big Ten season and (hopefully) jolt Iowa into better form for the remaining two-thirds of the season.
IOWA 8, MARYLAND 1
Iowa began the series with their most impressive performance, dominating Maryland 8-1 on Friday.
