MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. – The University of Minnesota baseball team powered through a four hour long weather delay to close out their three game series with the University of Washington today, rallying from a one run deficit to take down the Huskies 5-4 and win their first Big Ten conference series at Siebert Field since the 2024 season.
