OMAHA, Neb. — Coltin Quagliano hit a two-run single in the top of the 10th inning and top-seeded Illinois edged Iowa 4-2 on Thursday for its first Big Ten Tournament victory since 2018. Illinois (34-18) advances to play in another elimination game on Friday after snapping an eight-game losing streak in the tournament. Iowa (31-23) lost in 10 innings for the second straight game after falling 3-2 against Michigan on Wednesday. There was a controversial call in the bottom of the 10th. Iowa had the bases loaded with no outs when Michael Seegers hit a grounder to first. Illinois was unable to turn a double play, but interference was called on pinch runner Kyle Huckstorf at second. The ruling was confirmed after a review, resulting in a double play and negating a run.
