Lincoln – The Nebraska baseball team (20-13-1, 4-3-1 Big Ten) had the tying run at the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning, but was unable to put together a late rally in a 5-3 loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes (22-11, 5-3 Big Ten) on Saturday night at Hawks Field. The Hawkeyes secured a series win with the victory and have now won 13 of their last 16 games.
Husker fans packed the park on Saturday night with 7,416 fans in attendance. It’s the 24th largest crowd in stadium history and the largest crowd since March 31, 2015, when 7,319 watched Nebraska play Creighton.
