OMAHA, Neb. — Kevin Keister and Nick Lorusso hit fifth-inning home runs and Maryland used five pitchers in a four-hit 4-0 victory over Iowa in the championship game of the Big Ten Tournament on Sunday.

Reliever Kenny Lippman — the third pitcher of the game for top-seeded Maryland (41-19) — picked up his eighth win against one loss with three perfect innings. He struck out two.

The game was scoreless until the Terrapins broke through in the bottom of the fifth. Jacob Orr led off with a walk and Keister, the No. 9 hitter, followed with a two-run shot. Lorusso’s homer was a two-out solo shot to make it 3-0.

Eddie Hocopian doubled to lead off the bottom of the sixth and scored on a two-out single by Orr to complete the scoring.

Reliever Jack Whitlock (7-1) was saddled with his first loss for the third-seeded Hawkeyes (42-14), surrendering three runs on two hits and a walk in 2 1/3 innings.

Raider Tello had two of Iowa’s five hits. His double was the Hawkeyes only extra-base hit.

The Terrapins had just six hits but half of them went for extra bases.

Maryland, Iowa and Indiana each earned postseason berths. Maryland received the conference’s automatic berth after winning the Big Ten Tournament, while Indiana and Iowa received at-large bids into the 64-team field.

Iowa heads to Indiana to the Terre Haute Regional as a No. 2 seed. The Hawkeyes will face No. 3 seed North Carolina on Friday, while No. 1 seed Indiana State faces No. 4 Wright State.

Iowa is making its third NCAA Tournament appearance under head coach Rick Heller and the sixth in school history. The Hawkeyes finished third in the Big Ten regular season and their 42 wins are the second-most in school history.

North Carolina (35-22) is making its 35th all-time NCAA appearance, sixth consecutive and third straight under head third-year coach Scott Forbes. The Tar Heels have reached the postseason in 20 of the last 23 years, excluding 2020.
