Play-by-play recap: Iowa 6 Michigan 5

The last few Fridays have been pretty relaxed with Cade Obermueller dominating on the mound. This Friday, Obermueller wasn’t at his best and the Hawkeyes were forced to scrap, claw and grind, but they found a way to get it done. Iowa took the lead in the sixth inning and held on for a 6-5 nail-biting win over Michigan in the series opener at Ray Fisher Stadium.

With the win, the Hawkeyes move to 25-11 overall and 15-4 in Big Ten play. They will go for a seventh series win in a row on Saturday afternoon.

Here is a play-by-play breakdown of how the Hawkeyes game went against the Wolverines…
