Kudos to Coach Heller for nailing it on the head before today's game. Something to the effect of "Baseball is the sport where you see wins by the team with less talent on the roster than any other sport."
When pitchers struggle to throw strikes and there are defensive lapses, it is akin to playing with fire. And, today, the Hawkeyes got burned. Flirting with danger cost them in T5. And sometimes all it takes is an "excuse me" Texas Leaguer to find some OF grass to trigger a disastrous half inning.
Decent win on Friday.
Really nice win on Saturday.
And, damn, if today didn't slip away.
Here's hoping that it fuels some inner fires because the upcoming weekend will require Iowa to bring its "A game" all 3 days.
Cheers.
