Hawkeyes earn series win over Purdue

Sports

May 9th, 2022 by admin

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Sophomore Ty Langenberg allowed one run over seven innings and the Hawkeyes’ offense erupted for nine runs to lead the University of Iowa baseball team to a 9-1 series-clinching victory over Purdue on Mother’s Day Sunday at Duane Banks Field.

The win gives the Hawkeyes their fourth straight series win and its sixth in seven weekends.  Iowa is 28-16 overall, 12-6 in Big Ten play with two weeks remaining in the regular season.

In a career-long outing, Langenberg (5-1) scattered five hits and fanned seven while only issuing one walk to notch his fifth victory of the season.  The right-hander didn’t allow a run over the first 6 2/3 innings before giving up a solo home run with two outs in the seventh.

Iowa finished with 12 strikeouts in the game to move the season total to 507 to set a single-season record.  The previous mark was 499 set in 2018.

“We gave a mature, professional effort today,” said head coach Rick Heller. “After a tough day yesterday, we came out with a lot of energy.  We were really dialed in against a good team and we needed a good start. Ty Langenberg delivered with that; he was solid today.”

Iowa’s offense got going in the first inning against Purdue starter Logan Danzeisen.  The right-hander plunked Peyton Williams with one out before serving up a two-run home run to Keaton Anthony.  The Georgia native belted a 2-2 pitch 442-feet deep over the Sharp Family Video Board in left field to give the Hawkeyes a 2-0 lead.

UP NEXT

With finals week, the Hawkeyes return to action May 13-15, traveling to East Lansing, Michigan, for a three-games series at Michigan State.

Former Hawkeye Dane Belton focuses on safety with New York Giants

Sports

May 9th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

Former Iowa defensive back Dane Belton believes his versatility will help him in the NFL. Belton was drafted in the fourth round by the New York Giants after leading the Hawkeyes with five interceptions while playing the “cash” position. It is a hybrid safety/linebacker position in the Iowa defense.

Belton says the versatility will help him as he concentrates on playing safety in the NFL.

Belton says his interceptions were the result of preparation and film study.

Longtime KNOD sportscaster Ron Novotny has passed away recently at his home in Harlan. Ron was long known as the voice of the Harlan Community Cyclones, calling games for the station’s hometown team along with other area schools.

Ron broadcasted sports for 53 years on the radio. He had scaled back his work the past year or so and just recently fully stepped away from the mic with a retirement party earlier this year.

Ron was known for his unique broadcast style and catchphrases. Such as “The sow is out of the barn” when a game was in control by a team late in the contest.

We send our thoughts to all associated with Ron and our colleagues at our sister station KNOD. Rest in Peace Rockin’ Ron.

Coach Ed Den Beste: “Carroll Country Club was in great shape today. Best we have seen this year. Hoping our boys could play well today. Temps were good but wind come up once again. Garrett is hitting the ball much better. Probably should have scored better then he did but good score of 84. Lane had trouble is several spots. His putting was great though. Need to work on getting off tee better and chipping. Good to see Tristan play well on a course he had never seen before. Continued his bogey golf. Cruz struggled at times. Puting was better. Needs to work on his driver and not getting in trouble. Roth had two holes that he was 12 over. Played well on many holes to keep it below 100. Tate struggled as well but kept is close to 100. We all know we can shoot better and need to on Monday at Conference.”
