With a single-game matchup on April 8 vs. UW-Milwaukee (9-20, 7-4 Horizon League) on deck for Iowa baseball (20-9, 12-2 Big Ten) once they close their three-game weekend series against Northwestern, the Hawkeyes announce Saturday evening that their clash against the Panthers will be completely moving locations of the game.
While neither Iowa nor UW-Milwaukee have detailed the exact reasoning behind the move, the April 8 game will now occur at Duane Banks Field in Iowa City, Iowa, with a first pitch established at 4:02 p.m. CT.
The decision is unlikely to be related to inclement weather as the April 8 forecast for Milwaukee, Wis., calls for clear skies with highs hovering around 39 degrees Fahrenheit. If the change is due to the temperature, the forecasted weather in Iowa City is projected to be clear skies with highs around 49 degrees Fahrenheit.
