OMAHA, Neb. — Ty Langenberg allowed two hits in seven innings, three relievers finished the three-hit shutout, and Iowa advanced to the Big Ten tournament championship game with a 5-0 victory over Michigan on Saturday.
Langenberg (6-3) struck out nine batters, walked two and hit one. He allowed one runner to reach second base — in the first inning.
Iowa will play either Maryland or Nebraska in the championship game on Sunday. The Hawkeyes have reached the championship game for the fifth time, last doing so in 2017 when they won for the first time.
After Langenberg finished the top of the seventh inning, the Hawkeyes scored three runs in the bottom half.
