HAWKEYE SCORECARD

HEAR FROM HEAD COACH TYLER STITH
“We knew with the conditions the course would be totally different today. The north wind makes this pace a lot more difficult.  That’s exactly what you want when you’re trying to come from behind.  Unfortunately, we didn’t take advantage of the conditions or our course knowledge. We got off to a poor start and never put any pressure on Kansas. From there, I think we pressed too hard which is ultimately going to cost you strokes.”

UP NEXT
The Hawkeyes will travel to West Lafayette to compete in the Boilermaker Intercollegiate hosted by Purdue. This event will conclude the Hawkeye’s regular season before they compete in the Big Ten Championships.

Iowa State corner Tre Bell had to give up his first love of basketball to see how far he could go in football. Bell began his college career as a football and basketball player at Lindenwood in St. Louis and transferred to Iowa State after deciding to concentrate on football. He is vying to become a starting corner for the Cyclones in spring drills.

Bell felt Iowa State was a place he could reach his potential.

Bell admits it was not an easy decision to give up on basketball.

Bell hopes for a similar career track as former Cyclone Darien Porter, who blossomed in his final year.

ISU corner’s coach Hank Poteat likes the progress Bell has been making in practice.

Poteat says Bell has been a great fit for the program.

Drake Relays director Blake Boldon says the changing landscape of college athletics is affecting how many universities will compete in next week’s event and in the years to come. Two schools will be returning for the first time in several years in Ohio State and Kansas State.

Boldon says as always there will be a strong contingent of teams from the Midwest.

Boldon says an Iowa connection help the get Kansas State back to Des Moines.

Boldon says Ohio State used to be a regular at the Drake Relays.

The Drake Relays are April 24th through the 26th.

• Iowa moves to 12-12 all-time against Maryland.
• Berry’s home run is her ninth of the season and 10th of her career.
• This was Iowa’s first three-game series sweep since 2023 when they swept Michigan State.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – The University of Iowa baseball team fell to Nebraska, 6-4, to close out the series at Duane Banks Field on Sunday afternoon.

The Hawkeyes (23-11, 15-4) smacked eight hits and left 11 runners on base. Nebraska (16-20, 5-10) batted .206 as a team with seven hits.

“We had a few opportunities and just had poor execution,” said head coach Rick Heller. “The one inning where they tried to give it to us with the errors — that was the one where we needed to break it open. With runners in scoring position, you get two strikeouts, and we only end up getting one run that inning. I guess that’s the biggest story is that we only had a couple opportunities, but we didn’t put a crooked number up there, and that’s what we’ve been doing. Today it just didn’t happen.”

Iowa got on the board in the second inning when Jackson Beaman hit an RBI double down the left field line to score Kooper Schulte. Nebraska tied the game in the third with a solo home run and then took a 3-1 lead in the fourth with two more solo shots.

The Hawkeyes answered right back in the bottom half of the fourth. They capitalized on a couple Husker errors, and then Gable Mitchell hit an RBI SAC fly to knot the game at three apiece.

Daniel Rogers hit an RBI double in the seventh inning to put Iowa ahead, 4-3. Nebraska took a 5-4 lead in the eighth, taking advantage of two Hawkeye errors, and tacked on another run in the ninth on an RBI single.

Reece Beuter started on the hill for the Hawkeyes. He gave up three runs on three hits and struck out seven Huskers through five innings. Ben DeTaeye came out of the bullpen, surrendering just one hit and punching out three in two innings of work. Daniel Wright then took the mound, giving up three runs — two earned — on two hits in 1 1/3 innings. Wright was tagged with the loss.

“On the positive side, I thought Reece Beuter gave us a good start,” said Heller. “The three solo home runs, with the way the wind was blowing early, it felt like we would give up a home run or two during the day. But that was fine because I felt like we would eventually score some runs, and why wouldn’t you with the way we’ve been going offensively.”

As a team, the Hawkeyes lead the field in total pars (109), rank second in par-4 scoring average (4.06) and par-3 scoring average (3.13), and sit third in total birdies (38).

HAWKEYE SCORECARD

HEAR FROM HEAD COACH TYLER STITH
“Today was a complete team effort.  Ian stepped up with a big round this morning. Chance and Max had great bounce back rounds this afternoon. I’m proud of how the guys responded. Gage was very solid all day.  He dropped a few shots on the back nine with three putts but I know he will be ready to compete tomorrow.  He’s hitting it well, he just needs to stay patient and trust his game.”
