The Iowa baseball team may have dropped the third game of its weekend series with Michigan, 7-5, on Sunday. But the Hawkeyes took two contests from the Wolverines to win their first Big Ten road series of the season.

Phil Schreiber started on the mound for the Hawkeyes on Sunday and picked up his fourth loss of the year. Through five innings, the sophomore right-hander gave up six runs — two earned —and struck out four.

Center fielder Kurtis Muller led Iowa at the plate, going 3-for-5, scoring once, and driving in a pair of base runners in the defeat.

Sophomore Phil Keppler also registered a three-hit day and scored once in four plate appearances.

Third baseman Zach McCool also tallied a multi-hit game, going 2-for-5 with a pair of singles.

Iowa’s next game will be against Nebraska at 6:05 p.m. Tuesday in Banks Field.
