Sammy Lizarraga was all set to pack his bags and leave for Wabash Valley Community College later this month, but then he threw a bunch of 94 mph fastballs in the state tournament and things changed.
A school in the Big 12 Conference offered him a full scholarship, but he didn't want to go there. Another school that has made several trips to the College World Series in recent years came calling, but it didn't work out.
Then Iowa Coach Rick Heller, who has been chasing Lizarraga for quite sometime, called and made a substantial offer that made Lizarraga smile from ear to ear on his 6-foot-5 frame.
