Purdue’s 8‑1 victory over Iowa showcased clutch hitting and solid pitching, setting up a high‑stakes matchup against No. 1 UCLA.

The Iowa Hawkeyes lost 8-1 to Purdue in a Big Ten Tournament elimination game, concluding a 33-23 season that included a late surge but ultimately fell short.
The Boilermakers enter the Big Ten Tournament with a 35‑18 record, opening against Michigan State at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha. A deep lineup led by Brandon Rogers and Sam Flores aims to translate regular‑season success into a championship run.

With a win over Purdue, Iowa can lock in its fifth straight season of 30 or more victories, a feat that would highlight a dominant stretch despite a recent sweep by Nebraska.
