Snowbird Baseball Classic

Kent State is no slouch, they are the consensus pick to win the MAC Tournament this year. They were 4-0 vs the B1G last year beating Northwestern x2, Indiana x1, and Michigan State x1.

Coach Duncan routinely puts quality teams on the field.
Most of his offense is back this season. Carew and Kirby were All-Americans last year (depending on the publication). Turner had 42 RBI last year.

They did take a big hit in their weekend rotation, losing their Friday and Saturday starters. Without looking it up, I'm guessing they will start Pittman or Schultz. Both can be had.

It should be an interesting opener.
 
• All Iowa games will be available via the Hawkeye Radio Network with Morgan Hawk on the call. The games can be heard on Hawkeye All-Access, the TuneIn radio app (search Iowa Hawkeyes and it is on Iowa baseball channel), and stations across the state. This week's radio schedule is:
Friday: KKFD 95.9 FM in Fairfield, WDBQ FM107.5 in Dubuque
Saturday: KKFD 95.9 FM in Fairfield, WDBQ FM107.5 in Dubuque
Sunday: KKFD 95.9 FM in Fairfield
• All three games will also be available to watch on FloLive, a subscription-based streaming service.
 
Solid outing by Dreyer. He went 5 IP and 8ks. I assume he was on a pitch count as he threw 76 pitches. Hoffman and Leonard closed the door in the 8th/9th.

Offensively it wasn't amazing, but the first W is the hardest and nice to start that way considering the last few weeks last year.
 
I ended up just paying the $30 for a month of the FloSports since Iowa will have 6 games on there this month. The quality is dog shit, but when that’s your only option there’s not much you can do.

M5. Norman leads off with a bloop double, sac bunted by Adreon and is hit in on a groundout by Fullard. 4-0. Williams then doubles down left field line. Advances to third on WP. Austin Martin singles him in. 5-0.
 
B6 Trenton Wallace into the ballgame to replace Judkins. Judkins went 5 IP and allowed 2 ER. 6 SO, 1 BB, 1 HBP. Overall a good day against Judkins against a fairly weak lineup.
 
E7. 2 Nice innings from Wallace so far. all three pitches look good. Curveball getting weak contact. Only hit was an infield single which I thought could've been called an error
 
M8. Norman with his 4th hit, this time a 2 RBI single after a walk and HBP. 7-2.
 
E8. Wallace with another clean inning. Only one infield hit so far. 4 K's
 
GAME: Hawks win 7-2!!! Good outing from Judkins, Wallace looks good out of the pen, and Probst makes his return from tommy john with a clean inning to finish the game. Great birthday from Norman who reached base in all five at bats. Hawks close to weekend tomorrow against Pitt at 10 AM Central.
 
Fullard with a 3 run jack over the left field fence to give the Hawks a 4-1 lead here in the top of the 3rd.
 
4-4 after 4. Hawkeye pitchers struggling to throw strikes. Seems like every count goes full.
 
Heller just got tossed from the game for arguing in between innings. Been multiple blown calls by this umpiring crew.
