Stephen Ames sank and eight foot birdie putt on the 17th hole to take the lead as he won the Principal Charity Classic at the Wakonda Club in Des Moines. Ames finished at 18-under-par as he edged second place finisher Steve Stricker by a stroke to post his third win of the season on the PGA Tour Champions.

That was Ames on the Golf Channel after his win. He also won the event in 2021.

He pockets 300 thousand dollars for the win.

Monday (Today)  is the latest registration deadline for most of the more than 40 sports offered at next month’s Summer Iowa Games. Spokesman Cory Kennedy says it is part of a new three-tiered registration system they are offering.

If you miss today’s deadline there is still time to register but Kennedy says the price will go up. Also, coaches registering a team do not need to include a roster at this time.

The summer games are July seventh through the 16th in Ames and the surrounding areas.

TERRE HAUTE, Indiana – The University of Iowa baseball team defeated North Carolina, 6-5, in 13 innings before falling to Indiana State, 11-8, in the Terre Haute Regional Final on Sunday night at Bob Warn Field.

“We fought until the end,” said Heller. “That really shows the character of this team. We all really believed that we were going to find a way to score more runs tonight regardless of what happened.”

The Hawkeyes needed extras to dispatch the Tar Heels as Ty Langenberg got the start in game one. Langenberg threw seven innings allowing four runs and striking out six. Will Christophersen earned the win throwing 4 2/3 innings of relief without allowing a hit.

Brennen Dorighi was 4-for-5 with three RBIs and Raider Tello was 2-for-4 with an RBI. Michael Seegers had the game winning RBI triple in the 13th inning, and Kyle Huckstorf also added an RBI in the first game of the day.

Zach Voelker got the start for Iowa in game two throwing 3 1/3 innings while allowing four earned runs. Five other pitchers saw action for the Hawkeyes in a bullpen game. The Iowa pitchers combined to allow 16 free passes, walking six and hitting 10.

“We just had to keep playing and trying to find a way,” said head coach Rick Heller. “With our pitchers that were going into the game that hadn’t been there in a while, we told them to take a deep breath, take it one pitch at a time, and try to pound the strike zone. If we were going to down, we wanted them to hit it, and unfortunately that wasn’t the case. We saw flashes of it throughout, but it wasn’t enough. We gave them too many free bases that created jams that we weren’t able to work out of all of the time.”

In the second contest Dorighi was 2-for-5 with three RBIs, and Michael Seegers went 3-for-5. Dorighi hit a home run along with Blake Guerin and Brayden Frazier. Raider Tello was 3-for-5 with an RBI at the plate.

“We have a ton of guys back off of this team,” said Heller. “We have a chance to be pretty special next year.”

TERRE HAUTE, Indiana – The University of Iowa baseball team was defeated 7-4, by the No. 1 seeded Indiana State Sycamores at Bob Warn Field.

The Hawkeyes led 4-2 through 7 innings before a five run eighth inning propelled Indiana State to victory.

Brody Brecht got the start for Iowa and threw seven innings allowing two hits and two runs while striking out eight.

Jared Simpson entered in relief and was tagged with the loss throwing 1/3 inning and allowing four earned runs. Luke Llewellyn threw the final 2/3 inning striking out two and allowing one earned run.

Raider Tello was 3-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI. Sam Hojnar, Michael Seegers, and Kyle Huckstorf also each tallied an RBI for Iowa.

Iowa outhit the Sycamores, 7-6, and each team left five runners stranded.

Iowa moves to 43-15 on the year. Brecht has 109 strikeouts on the season, one shy of tying the single-season program record.
