Iowa at Michigan: Game details, how to watch, stream Hawkeyes baseball

Iowa opens Big Ten play at Michigan. Here’s game details and how to watch and stream the series.

Iowa opens up Big Ten play with a 12-9 overall record at Michigan (13-11, 2-1 Big Ten) from Ray Fisher Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Hawkeyes enter the series against the Wolverines having won six of their past eight contests and fresh off a series win over Central Michigan.

After surrendering a 2-1 lead in the top of the eighth on Sunday versus the Chippewas, Iowa freshman Sam Petersen delivered a two-out, two-run single that scored Andy Nelson and Kyle Huckstorf. The Hawkeyes held on for a 4-2 victory after redshirt sophomore Jacob Henderson induced a fly out, a strike out and a ground out to notch his first career save.

“That’s a good team, winning two out of three is good. Winning the series against a team picked to win their league is a good. It will look good late in the season,” Petersen said of the series win over Central Michigan.

Petersen described what he saw on the 0-2 pitch that he laced to left center for the game-winning two-RBI base knock.

“Two strikes, I am always a hitter that likes to sit fast ball, but with two strikes you have to be ready to hit everything. He gave me a fastball up in the zone that I was able to stay on top of and hit a line drive,” Petersen said.

Iowa opened up Big Ten play against Michigan last year as well. The Wolverines took three of four in that four-game series from Round Rock, Texas.

Let’s take a look at game details and how fans can follow the action this weekend.

Iowa vs. Central Michigan: baseball series details, how to watch, stream and listen

Iowa baseball hosts Central Michigan this weekend in a three-game series. Here’s how to watch, stream and listen to the Hawks.

Iowa hosts its final nonconference series before the Hawkeyes jump in to Big Ten play. The Hawks welcome Central Michigan into Iowa City for a three-game series starting on Friday.

The Hawkeyes come into this weekend series riding the momentum of a two-game split with then-No. 13 Texas Tech. Iowa beat Texas Tech 6-3 last Sunday thanks to big pitching performances from sophomore starting righty Ty Langenberg and senior righty Dylan Nedved. That duo combined to strike out 17 Red Raider batters over their collective nine innings.

“Ty set the tone for us, he was outstanding and gave us a great start. Nedved, it was a perfect situation to bookend the game and he did a nice job. The big thing for us is fastball command and you see what you can do if you have that command. We have six games until conference. Today was a positive day, win or lose. We played better, we played with intent, we were more focused and confident. Let’s try to string something together and it starts tomorrow,” Iowa head baseball coach Rick Heller said.

With the win over Texas Tech and Monday’s 6-5 win over St. Thomas, the Hawkeyes are now 10-8 overall entering this weekend’s series. Central Michigan arrives 9-8 overall. Here’s a look at how to stream, watch and listen to the action this weekend. Plus, a look at some of the starting pitchers for both and game details.
