The Iowa Hawkeyes are seeking first Big Ten Baseball Tournament

Omaha, NE -- The Iowa Hawkeyes have never won a Big Ten Baseball Tournament championship, since the tournament debuted in 1981. Iowa played in the 2010 Championship Game. The Hawkeyes face the Ohio State in the Championship Game at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha.

The Road to Omaha is Complete; College World Series: Play Ball!

Bracket 1: (starts Saturday, June 18Th)

• Game 1 - North Carolina vs. Vanderbilt


• Game 2 - Texas vs. Florida

Bracket 2: (starts Sunday, June 19Th)

• Game 3 - California vs. Virginia


• Game 4 - South Carolina vs. Texas A&M

Twenty years ago, Creighton and Wichita State faced off in the 1991 College World Series in one of the most memorable games at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium. The losing pitcher that day was Creighton's Brian O'Connor. O'Connor is back in 2011 as the head coach leading the Virginia into the 2011 CWS.

New memories begin in 2011 at the College World Series in the new downtown venue in Omaha.
