You want to talk about a big win, and a big sigh of relief. Wallace gave Iowa the start they needed, only to lose it in the 8th. Eight games left, and sometimes you need one like this to catapult you. Time to finish this Hawkeyes!

BAU surviving against bad teams.
I personally wouldn’t call Illinois a bad team. I’d call them peculiar. Looking at some of their wins, and stat lines you’d think they’d be a top six team.
Pure awesomeness. Wore a path in the carpet in the basement tonight. I may end up getting the slate floor sooner than anticipated. Decompressing with a bourbon. Meeting a friend at Reunion Brewing at 12:30 before tomorrow’s first pitch. What a great feeling!
I’m terrible, I had to shut it off. Just replayed the last two innings. Great night for both the men and women!
So, are you attending the game today?
Fun, fun game last night, under the lights!!! So much character and never say die on this team!!!
Mid-week, all the experts said we were solidly in the NCAA Tournament. But, as we knew then, we must do well over these final 9 games. Right now, we are 1-0 with 8 games to go =)
Lets do this!!!
GO HAWKS!!!
ICYMI, some more good news today

Lavender definitely going to have a personal best for Ks in a game, hell Iowa might let him set an Illini single game record.

So disappointing, so so disappointing. Iowa going to just miss a regional again if this trend keeps up. Meanwhile a Maryland team who is taking care of business and a team that I know is not better than Iowa looks to get a bid over Iowa.
Indiana leads Michigan 7-0, bottom of 7th

I know this guy has some good stuff but it's going to be awfully hard to get back into this if we can't make contact.
Watching this Illini pitcher get strike calls on some pitches well off the plate is funny considering Iowa pitching gives up walks with better pitches. His breaking pitches aren’t strikes when the catcher catches it 15 inches off the plate.
Bottom of 4th
Frazier hits infield single
Adreon strikes out looking.
Martin pops out.
Sosa pops out to RF.
8 K's so far for the Illini pitcher. Just 2 hits for the Hawks. Wow.
I am gonna tap out since there is little interest / interaction in today's game thread.

I know the game is gone but I’ll feel better if we see signs of life here at the end. Tomorrow is must win
