Hawkeye baseball home opener rescheduled for next month

The Iowa baseball team’s home-opener scheduled for today has been called off because of snow and field conditions. This is the third-consecutive home-opener that the Hawkeyes have had to cancel because of weather conditions.

The game, which was to be played against Creighton, is now scheduled for April 23 at Banks Field and will begin at 6:05 p.m.

The Hawks are coming off a disappointing spring break in which they dropped four of six games against Nebraska-Omaha and Northwestern. The team is 9-10 overall.

The Black and Gold anticipate the upcoming weekend’s set to serve as the new home-opener. Iowa will take on Big Ten leader and No. 19 Indiana in a three-game series.

Indiana leads the Big Ten with a 3-0 conference record after sweeping Penn State March 22-23; the Hoosiers are 18-3 overall.

The series is scheduled to begin 6:05 p.m. Friday and conclude on March 31.
