It’s a next man up mentality for the Southwest Valley Timberwolves baseball team as the team graduated several seniors from a year ago. Head Coach Keegan Longabaugh wants to carry the success from last year as momentum into this season.

A group that is junior and sophomore heavy still carries the leadership required to win.

The Timberwolves have three key arms returning with Longabaugh expecting them to lead the way on the bump.

Southwest Valley lost their two best hitters heading into this season, but the Timberwolves bring back two .300 and above hitters from a season ago in Gavin Wetzel and Brody Crozier. Longabuagh wants a balanced lineup. Guys who can get the big hit from any spot in the lineup.

The Timberwolves get to open the season with five of their first six games at home. An adavantage says Longabaugh.

The season begins Tuesday, May 20th against Fremont-Mills in Corning.

AMES, Iowa – The Cyclones are heading back to the Sanford Pentagon. For the first time since the 2015-16 season opener, Iowa State will play a game in Sioux Falls, S.D. The Cyclones are set to face Mississippi State on Monday, Nov. 10.

Both the Cyclones and Bulldogs advanced to the NCAA Tournament last year, with ISU making the second round, while the Bulldogs suffered a 75-72 loss at the hands of Baylor in the first round. The Bulldogs finished the season 21-13 overall and 8-10 in the SEC.

The Cyclones and Bulldogs have met three times previously, with Mississippi State winning all three matchups. The Bulldogs won 80-70 in Jackson, Miss. In 1978 before defeating the Cyclones 84-63 in 1979 at Hilton Coliseum. In the most recent matchup, Mississippi State beat the Cyclones 95-56 in 2021 as part of the Big 12/SEC Challenge.

Iowa State opened the 2015-16 season at the Sanford Pentagon against Colorado. The Cyclones beat the Buffaloes 68-62 in the game. This will be the third time the Cyclones have played in Sioux Falls, as they also beat Augustana (S.D.) 102-76 in 1965.

Tipoff and TV designation will be announced at a later time.

The Iowa Hawkeye baseball team will bid for its first Big Ten regular season championship since 1990 beginning with Thursday night’s start of a three game series against fifth ranked Oregon. At 21-6, the Hawkeyes lead second place UCLA by a game in the standings and coach Rick Heller says the chance to play for a title is always special.

Heller says the key is always to be fundamentally sound and this week will be no different.

Heller hopes the home field remains an advantage this week. The Hawkeyes are 10-2 in Big Ten play at Banks Field.

Oregon is currently third in the Big Ten at 19-8.

The route former Iowa State offensive lineman Jaylen Travis designed to the NFL has paid off. After starting his college career at Princeton, Travis used his graduate transfer year to play at ISU. He started 11 games at left tackle and was taken by the Indianapolis Colts in the fourth round of last month’s NFL Draft. He took part in rookie mini-camp last weekend.

Travis says Iowa State was a perfect fit for him.

Travis says the Colts’ coaching staff went to work immediately after the draft to help his transition to the NFL.
