Scarlet and gray has raided the purple-clad U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

Ohio State (3-3) dropped the first game of Friday's doubleheader 4-0 to Iowa (2-3) and took the loss 10-4 in the day's second game to Nebraska (4-1).

The Hawkeyes got six stellar innings from redshirt-junior lefty Trent Wallace, including five no-hit innings of work to begin the game.

Junior left-handed pitcher Cade Povich seemingly tried to one-up Iowa's starter by going six innings himself, striking out 12 Buckeyes and allowing five hits and three runs, all of which came from the longball.

Senior designated-hitter Sam Wilson was the lone Ohio State batter to record a hit in each game, combining to go 2-9 with a two-run home run. Sophomore right fielder Mitchell Okuley went 2-4 in Game 2, with both hits being solo round-trippers.

“I think as a team we came out a little slow to start the day," Okuley said. "Then you got to give credit to Nebraska in the second game. They came out hot, they hit the ball well. We hit some balls hard, we just hit them at some people. We got to have a good approach and keep working together as a team."

Redshirt-junior LHP Seth Lonsway made his second start of the season after throwing the first 2.2 innings of Game 1 last Saturday. Lonsway struck out two in the first inning before walking two and hitting another and working out of a bases-loaded jam.

The Hawkeyes took leadoff singles in the fourth inning from redshirt-senior third baseman Matthew Sosa and redshirt-freshman left fielder Brayden Frazier and cashed in with two runs after a wild pitch scored the former preceded an RBI single from redshirt-junior DH Brett McCleary.

Wilson knocked Ohio State's first base hit of the game with a one-out single in the sixth inning.

Iowa redshirt-freshman pinch-hitter Tyler Snep drove in his team's third run with an RBI double in the seventh, and the Hawkeyes pushed their fourth run on a wild pitch in the eighth inning.

Ohio State hitters struck out a combined 14 times as junior shortstop Zach Dezenzo had the lone other base hit of the game. The Hawkeyes never shied from pressure, getting their leadoff hitters to reach in four of their eight offensive innings.

“I think you just got to stay confident," Okuley said. "You can’t get down or think about your past ABs. You just got to keep working knowing that everything’s going to keep coming."

Lonsway allowed four hits across six innings, getting nine to strikeout after 100 pitches. Three relievers from the Ohio State bullpen finished the last two innings, and redshirt-senior RHP Joe Gahm struck out the only batter he faced to end the seventh inning.

"He battled and got us deep into the ballgame," head coach Greg Beals said of Lonsway. "To go six innings and give up two runs, you’d like to think you’re in a chance to win a ballgame. We just weren’t able to get anything going offensively to support him today."

Ohio State retook the field at 4 p.m. and may have thought they were seeing deja vu with Povich.

Povich had his way with Buckeyes hitters, getting at least one strikeout in each of his six frames on the mound.

The Huskers lefty struck out four of the first five batters before giving up a two-out solo home run to Okuley - his second homer of the season - and a single to redshirt-senior catcher Brent Todys.

Each of the first four Nebraska hitters reached to begin the second inning as senior right fielder Joe Acker hit a two-run single to score junior catcher Griffin Everitt and freshman first baseman Jack Steil, who reached on a walk and double, respectively.

Junior right-handed pitcher Garrett Burhenn, who made his second start of the young year, got two Huskers to pop out before freshman DH Max Anderson drove a three-run homer on an 0-1 count, extending the lead to 5-1.

Povich struck out the side in the third and K’ed his fourth-straight for the first out in the fourth. The Huskers added to their total in the bottom half of the frame as junior shortstop Spencer Schwellenbach hit an RBI double and later scored on a passed ball to make it 7-1.

Wilson drove a two-run home run in the top of the fifth to chip away at the deficit, however, Nebraska took advantage of a throwing error by Dezenzo in the bottom of the sixth for two more runs to come around and score.

Nebraska senior center fielder Jaxon Hallmark hit an opposite-field solo home run in the bottom of the eighth to score the Huskers’ 10th run of the game. Then, Okuley drove a long flyball to center to lead off the ninth, and the ball popped in and out of Hallmark’s glove and over the wall for the Buckeye’s second homer of the game.

Ohio State also saw extra-base hits from junior third baseman Nick Erwin and freshman center fielder Kade Kern. Three errors also nagged the Buckeyes for the first time this season as they recorded just two blunders across the entirety of Opening Weekend.

"We still believe in what we’re capable of; the team you saw last weekend is still the team today," Beals said. "We can’t let a day like today fester. Tomorrow’s going to be a great character-check for our ballclub to see the resilience and the character that we have."

The Buckeyes will play their second game against Iowa on Saturday at 2 p.m. on BTN+. Junior righty Jack Neely will make his second start of the season and go up against Hawkeyes redshirt-junior left-handed thrower Cam Baumann.
