Iowa (34-18) will play an elimination game on Saturday against the loser of the game between No. 2 seed Rutgers and No. 6 seed Penn State. The Hawkeyes scored the winning run when Seegers reached on a one-out single off Purdue reliever Landon Weins. Seegers moved up a base on a foul out and the Boilermakers intentionally walked Anthony.
