COLLEGE PARK, MD -- The Maryland Terrapins (18-19, 4-11) are set to travel out to Iowa for a weekend Big Ten Series against the Iowa Hawkeyes (19-15, 5-10). Friday's matchup will be the 20th time these teams have faced off with the last one coming in 2023 where Terps took a 4-0 victory in the Big Ten Tournament. Friday's matchup, which was postponed to Saturday due to lightning in the area, will resume at 2 pm in the sixth inning and game two will be played roughly 40 minutes following the conclusion of game one. The series finale will begin at 2 pm on Sunday. All games can be watched on B1G+ or listened to on Maryland Baseball Network.

Decisive devin

- His first came on Saturday in the bottom of the seventh inning to push Maryland ahead by 10 runs, completing the run-rule victory and even the series.
