Great win....need to find a bit more O however. Glad the drought is over.

Leaving the bases loaded like we did and only having six hits is a tad bit of a concern.

Agreed. Our pitching and defense are GREAT. We just need more timely hitting.

We got hit by pitch 7 times, correct? Incredible!

We left the bases loaded 3 times, correct? Ughhh

Hopefully we break through and win this double elimination regional to advance to the Sweet 16 (which is best 2 of 3 vs one other team w/ the winner advancing to the Elite 8, the College World Series in Omaha).

I'll tell you what, when Tyler Peyton does not give up free bases then he is REALLY good. It's when he is walking and hitting guys early that he gets in trouble.

i think iowa got 7 bases on hit by pitch; Iowa pitchers only hit them once

HUGE win after losing 2 of 3 to Rutgers and losing 2 of 3 at the BTT

That '72 team lost its first game in the regional, then won 2 on Saturday and 2 more on Sunday to earn Iowa's first and only...so far...berth in the College World Series.
