Brecht starting Saturday. Morgan starting Sunday.

 

[iowaHawkeyes2323]

Brecht starting Saturday. Morgan starting Sunday.

Love this

 

[AuroraHawk]

Brecht starting Saturday. Morgan starting Sunday.

Wow. No Voelker? Here’s hoping that Heller is trying to get Brecht going against an opponent that Iowa should beat and that Voelker isn’t nursing some type of injury.

 

[ssckelley]

With Langenberg, Brecht, and Morgan the Hawkeyes have the potential to have the best 3 man rotation in the Big Ten. Fingers crossed that Morgan and Brecht have figured out their control issues.

Nice pitching by Simpson getting the Hawks out of a tough jam in the 6th inning.

Hawks tied 2-2 B6

 

[StormHawk42]

Walk off grand slam by Hucksdorf!

1-0 boys

 

[ssckelley]

Huckstorf with a walk off grand slam!!! Iowa wins 6-2 in the 11th inning.

Morgan being the Sunday starter was surprising . . . I don't know what to think. I'm hoping it is because Morgan has made huge advancements with his control as opposed to Voelker being either (a) injured or (b) performing poorly.

End of 3:

Iowa up 3-0.

 

[ssckelley]

Hawks off to a great start with Frazier getting a huge 2 out double to drive in 2 runs. This should help Brecht settle in and keep mowing them down.

 

[Franisdaman]

 

[ssckelley]

Morgan being the Sunday starter was surprising . . . I don't know what to think. I'm hoping it is because Morgan has made huge advancements with his control as opposed to Voelker being either (a) injured or (b) performing poorly.

Remember Morgan started in the rotation last season. The guy has good stuff if he can harness it.

But it's great we are even debating this, having a 4th starter in the wings is great depth and comes in handy come tournament time.

Brecht has struck out 7 of the 12 he's faced so far through 4

Hawkeyes are rolling now.

 

[ssckelley]

It would be nice if Tello can reach base and give Anthony a chance to end the game on 1 swing.

 

[Franisdaman]

Hawkeyes are rolling now.

Bottom 5:

Frazier singles, driving in Dorighi (3 RBIs today)

Tallman singles, driving in Petersen

Mitchell Sacrifice fly, driving in Huckstorf

Seegers grounds out, driving in Frazier



7-0, IOWA

Heading to the 6th

 

[ssckelley]

Brecht was shut down, good decision being at 68 pitches in the first start of the season.

 

[Franisdaman]

Voelker comes in for the 6th inning.

Brecht pitches a perfect 5 innings.

Voelker just struck out the side in 17 pitches.

Finish this off Hawks! Need 3 runs to shut this game down.

[ssckelley]

Hawkeyes emptying the bench now instead of going for the kill. I'm out, got stuff to do.

IOWA wins, 7-1.
