Indiana State used an RBI, bases-loaded walk from Mike Sears and then back-to-back doubles from Miguel Rivera and Grant Magill to turn that 4-2 deficit into a 7-4 win.
Iowa is turning to redshirt sophomore Zach Voelker for the start against Indiana State on Sunday. It’ll be the Granite Bay, California, native’s second start in 2023. With a Hawkeye win, the two teams would meet again Monday in a winner-take-all contest to advance to the super regionals.
