*****Official IOWA at Northwestern Games Thread (May 18-20)*****
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Replay looks like, on the attempted steal, the throw beat Wilmes to the bag but the 3rd basemen didn't get the tag on him in time. Really hard to tell. Throw definitely beat Wilmes.
EDIT: Big early call goes in Iowa's favor. Dorighi needs to drive him in to grab an early lead.
EDIT 2: Northwestern color guy is a moron. On Dorighi's grounder up the middle - which was fielded behind second base - the color guy says that the NW second basemen should have tried to throw out Wilmes at home plate. JFC. Not only would Wilmes have been safe but he probably wouldn't have had to slide. Absolutely the right play by the second baseman.

Northwestern showing today why Heller was complimentary of their ability to score runs. Langenberg inducing a lot of contact and, unfortunately, a lot of balls are finding holes. Certainly appears that Iowa's bats are going to need to produce today. Has a very "high scoring" feel right now.
Might want to consider pulling Ty already and try to change the pace of the game. NW is swinging away.
Missed balk on the pick off attempt by NW which results in Hucksdorf getting caught at second. NW pitcher clearly flinches before attempting the pick-off and Hucksdorf takes off. Tough break for the Hawks. Bats need to get hot soon and Langenberg needs a shut down inning right now.
As I mentioned earlier, Sam Garewal came into the game with a 0-4 record and a 5.93 ERA.
Of course he is pitching out of his mind today. LOL
Exactly the half inning needed from Ty there. As Harry Caray would say "Let's Get Some Runs!"
Just like yesterday, our starter only pitched 4 innings (Heller looking ahead to the B1G tourney).
Langenberg's line:
4 innings pitched
17 batters faced
72 pitches (45 strikes, 27 balls)
3 strike outs
0 walks
0 Wild pitches
0 Hit Batters
6 Hits
3 earned runs

Akin to Iowa basketball giving up a 30 point game to #12 guy on bench Tom Davis style.
Wow.
Seegers ignored/didn't see Heller's "windmill" sign to go home; he pulls up at 3rd instead
Can't make base running mistakes like that; it cost us a run.
Instead of being up 1, the game is tied at 3

Nw HR leads 5-3....to a .194 hitter...now that is BAU!
Iowa needs to channel Maryland’s effort last night. Going to take quite the comeback.
Would like to see some more patience at the plate. Lots of early swings last inning.

Hopefully Seegers' 6th inning base running gaffe doesn't cost us the game.
After this solo HR, the game should be tied. Instead, we are down 1.

Horrible, terrible, very bad, no good loss.
They just said Iowa was 2-14 with runners in scoring position
Iowa left 8 on base

I hate to call it “must win” tomorrow. How about “can’t lose”? That would throw us back on the bubble for sure.
