Banks Field holds 3000, it has never held anything close to 5000. There is a plan to renovate the stadium, it will be much like the Kernals ball park in CR.

BTN+ announcers (Iowa's team of John Leo and John Evans) said last inning that Brecht was sitting at 97-99 with the fastball. Hitting his spots far better than any of his last 3 outings. Triple digits make for great headlines but good control and hitting spots makes a great pitcher. As of right now, Brecht's outing is rivaling his great outing against Nebraska. (Knock on wood, fingers crossed)
IU beat Purdue.
Rutgers beat Illinois.
Maryland has a comfortable late lead against Minnesota.
Nebraska sweeps PSU.
From a B1G standings perspective, Iowa really needs to win today's game to stay ahead of Rutgers, Nebraska and (likely) Michigan.
After 3 1/2 innings, Brody is looking good.

John Leo with a cringe-worthy statement at end of T5. "Brecht is dealing like he's a blackjack dealer at Riverside Casino."
I know that there was no ill intent; none in the least but . . . oooof . . . probably not the best choice under the circumstances.

I mentioned earlier today that Iowa is ahead of Michigan, Neb and Rutgers by just a half game.
We didn't get a lot of help today.
Results so far:
Indiana beat Purdue
Maryland beat Minnesota
Rutgers beat Illinois
Nebraska beat Penn State
To keep hold of 3rd place, Iowa obviously needs to win today's game to stay ahead of Rutgers, Nebraska and Michigan.
1 hit 4 innings less than 60 pitches switched before the inning switched. 5th inning 63 pitches 0 runs and 1 hit Brecht still in control of his pitches..
Iowa making it easy for the MSU pitcher.
Dorighi 3 pitches and he is out
Peterson 3 pitches and he's out both entered the game hitting over .350 on the year only threw12 pitches in the bottum of the 5th to 1-2-3.

trouble in the 6th 1st 2 batters on 2nd and via the walk and a wild pitch. time for a relief pitcher unless does it again leaves him in till he drowns.
Brody walks 4 batters in the 6th. He walks in a run. He had 3 strike outs as well. He ends the inning with a K.
He's likely done with 93 pitches.
Iowa now leads 3-1.
After 5 1/2 innings, Brody's line:

A couple of calls in B8 make it appear that the umps are looking to get this game over. Particularly the call at second base on the attempted steal. SMH.
Hawks win 5-1 and hold on to 3rd place in the B1G by a HALF GAME.
Brecht with the win; Whitlock pitched the final 3 innings for the save.
Nice game and series sweep!

Break out the brooms. Huge series sweep. Pretty sure that clinches a spot in the B1G tournament . . . bring on the Wildcats.

3 great starts by our starters. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.
Iowa was 22-3 at home.
Now lets go kick cellar dweller Northwestern's ass.
Who/where the Top 4 B1G teams play next week (starting Thursday):
Indiana at Michigan State
Maryland at Penn State
Iowa at Northwestern
Rutgers at Minnesota

6 innings from Morgan. 0 runs allowed.
5 innings from Langenberg (likely a 6th if not for rain delay) 2 runs allowed.
6 innings from Brecht. 1 run allowed.
Simpson follows Morgan with 3 nice innings.
Savary, Christopherson and Llewellyn workmanlike efforts after Langenberg.
Whitlock follows Brecht with 3 nice innings.
I'm not sure that Heller and McGrath could have drawn it up much better.
Short of winning the B1G tournament, neither Nebraska nor MSU will be a Regional team but . . . both of those teams are solid weekend performers. Going 6-0 against those teams is nothing to sneeze at.
Helluva weekend too considering missing Anthony and all the other distractions, etc.
Heller and staff have these kids focused and really looking forward to BTT in Omaha and a regional. Up to #29 RPI!

Lots of distractions this weekend:
* Mothers Day
* Senior Day
* Graduation
* Losing 4 players to the gambling investigation
The team definitely circled the wagons. Iowa is 5-1 since the gambling story broke.
I said it above already, but the starting pitching was simply outstanding this weekend and hopefully it is a sign to come.
The hitting has also been very timely. All you have to do is look at yesterday's game as an example (the game was tied at 5 in the bottom of the 8th with 2 OUTS; the Hawks then scored 3).

no change on the pitcher bases loaded another walk in the 6th and the score is 3-1 . inning is done with bases loaded rough inning had to be a big deal for both Heller and Brecht.
the timing of this has to help the team going into the BTT and the NCAAT for a shot at the WSCBB.
looking at this weekends starting Pitchers they will all be back this spring. bring back the entire starting pitchers bode well for next season.
looking for the new recruits to see who plays where. and info on the incoming pitchers.

Here's a breakdown of Brecht's start. Good rebound outing for him and a very good weekend for the Hawkeyes.

hopefully he takes being the 3rd starter and takes by the horns and runs with it to finish the season
Brody had a squeezed strike zone today.
It’s was one of the colder games and the temperature didn’t reflect just how cold it was.
Cooler temperatures made junk pitches even junkier.
Jack got burnt on one inside pitch late, and got away with one hung pitch. But Jack threw some really good pitches today.
Iowa did well against LHB, which isn’t always the case.
MSU stud lefty hitter was rendered ineffectual all weekend. I’d need to look back, but MSU as a team didn’t hit .200 against the Hawks.
Much better plate discipline early on, except Raider, and Raider has one speed. That one speed worked out well today.
Hawks playing really good baseball right now.

Yes it does. Next weekend at the BTT (according to you), we'll see a mishmash of Heller ball. Good thing they are all back. Please do your incoming recruits thread and **** this good thread all up.
where when did I state that the BTT was next weekend. oh that's right you can't read nor comprehend what's posted
try and get someone to read the post maybe your older siblings to read and explain it to you.
We generally don’t have this kind of crap in baseball threads. Not calling anyone out, let’s just keep it that way.
Good luck. You'll get to know Karnack very intimately.
