Iowa Baseball vs Western Illinois

Minor note but Wood is a junior. He transferred from Marshalltown CC.

Former Iowa assistant Ryan Brownlee is WIU's head coach.

It seems like Brownlee's WIU teams always play really well against Iowa. Also, Chris Tschida of WIU seems like he has been there as long as Jess Settles was at Iowa.

Iowa beats Western Illinois 4-1.

Not really what I'd call a great offensive night for Iowa, but they got the job done. Pitching was decent as well, got out of a few jams too.

-Austin Guzzo was 2-3 with 1 RBI
-Matt Hoeg was 1-2 with 2 RBI's
-Mitch Boe had an RBI
-Mason McCoy was 2-4

Elijah Wood pitched three scoreless innings in the start for Iowa. Iowa also used three other pitchers in Grant Judkins, Drake Robison, and Shane Ritter. Robison gets credited with the W, Ritter with a save.

Iowa heads to Lincoln, NE next to face a Nebraska team that has been playing really well. Iowa can't afford to give them any free bases this weekend.
