It was a near picture perfect day at Duane Banks Field on Friday afternoon for the Big Ten doubleheader between the Hawkeyes and Spartans. Michigan State grabbed a win in the opener, putting up four runs in the top of the 11th to secure a 12-8 win in extra innings. Iowa bounced back in game two on the back of a strong performance from Aaron Savary on the mound. They scored six runs in the fifth inning en route to a 7-3 win, setting up a series deciding game three on Saturday afternoon.
