<div class="payload-richtext">Photo by Mark Kuhlmann OMAHA, Neb. — Two teams qualified for the quarterfinals and two were sent home as the 2026 Big Ten Baseball Tournament presented by IFS.ai continued at Charles Schwab Field Omaha on Wednesday. Game 5: Purdue 3, Illinois 1 Purdue (36-19) was kept off the board until the eighth inning, but scored three times to keep their tournament hopes alive. Eli Anderson delivered a two-run single as the Boilermakers earned the win despite having just three hits. Illinois ended its season at 28-27. Game 6: Ohio State 3, Rutgers 2 Pierce Herrenbruck tossed a complete game with 99 pitches for the Buckeyes (30-24). Teammate Dane Harvey drove in the winning run with a double in the bottom eighth. Rutgers closed its year with a 26-30 mark. Game 7: Michigan State 4, Iowa 3 The 12th-seeded Spartans (24-31) earned a spot in the quarterfinals and a matchup with No. 4 seed USC. Ryan McKay singled home two runs in the top ninth and reliever Nolan Higgins closed the door with a pair of strikeouts. Iowa (33-22) now prepares to face Purdue on Thursday with a quarterfinals berth on the line. Game 8: Washington 7, Michigan 1 The 11th-seeded Huskies (25-31) punched their ticket to the quarterfinals, where they will meet arch-rival Oregon on Friday. Jackson Hotchkiss connected on his 20th home run of the season, becoming the third Big Ten player this season to reach that mark. Michigan (33-23) will meet Ohio State Thursday with the winner advancing to the quarterfinals. </div>

Baseball Tournament: Day 2 Update

<div class="payload-richtext">Photo by Mark Kuhlmann OMAHA, Neb. – A new format provided the backdrop for opening day of the 2026 BigTen Baseball Tournament presented by IFS.ai. No. 7 seed Michigan, No. 8 Iowa, No. 11 Washington and No. 12 Michigan State recorded wins in double-elimination bracket play. A total of 52 runs were scored over the four games. Game 1: Michigan State 8, Purdue 4 The Spartans (23-31) produced the first upset of the day, jumping out to a 4-0 lead in their first at-bat and building a 7-0 cushion after two frames. Game 2: Iowa 10, Illinois 6 For the second straight game, the visitors scored four times in the opening inning. The Illinois (28-26) lead was short-lived however as Iowa (33-21) tied the game in the third and used a five-run, seventh inning to pull away. Game 3: Michigan 10, Rutgers 0 (7 inns.) Michigan (33-22) earned the first run-rule victory of the tournament by scoring six runs in the bottom seventh. Cade Montgomery was stellar on the mound, striking out six and allowing just one hit in a complete-game effort. Game 4: Washington 8, Ohio State 6 Washington (24-31) produced the second upset of the tournament shortly past midnight. The fourth-time the Huskies took the lead would be the charm as Mic Paul's two-run triple in the ninth proved to be the difference. Wednesday will feature four more games, including two elimination affairs — No. 9 Illinois versus No. 5 Purdue and No. 10 Rutgers versus No. 6 Ohio State. </div>

Nebraska took home two individual awards with senior shortstop Dylan Carey tabbed Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and rookie outfielder Drew Grego chosen as Big Ten Freshman of the Year.

<div class="payload-richtext">Graphic courtesy of UCLA Athletics ROSEMONT, Ill. – Top-ranked UCLA won the Big Ten Baseball Championship outright on Sunday with a 13-11 victory over Michigan State in East Lansing. The Bruins rallied from an eight-run deficit over the last three innings to remain undefeated in conference play at 24-0. The win, coupled with losses by Nebraska and Oregon, gave the Bruins a Big Ten regular season title for the second-straight season. UCLA (43-4) claims the Big Ten Championship with two weeks left on the season. The Bruins have already set the Big Ten record for consecutive conference wins in a season (21) and own the second-longest streak all-time for conference wins (see list below): Consecutive conference wins (over multiple seasons): 27 – Illinois (1909-11) 26 – UCLA (2025-26) 25 – Michigan (1918-20)</div>
