Iowa came back and tied it in the home half of the third with an RBI double from Trent Giambrone and a fielder's choice off the bat of Alfonso Rivas.
They scored two more the following inning on a solo home run from Narciso Crook and a sacrifice fly off the bat of Darius Hill. With the lead, Caleb Kilian went to work, throwing 5.1 innings of two-run ball.
