Cyclones Down BYU 4-2; Advance to Semifinals

Sports

May 9th, 2025 by Jack McGonigal

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – Iowa State (31-22) earned its third Big 12 semifinals in the last four seasons Friday evening, as it got revenge on six-seeded BYU (32-17) by earning a 4-2 victory.
With the win, the Cyclones keep their postseason hopes alive, as they will advance to face No. 12 Arizona in the semifinals tomorrow. Tomorrow’s semis feature (1) Texas Tech against (5) Arizona State before ISU will meet Arizona.
After going down 1-0 in the second inning, Iowa State rattled off four unearned runs as it went on to earn win number 31 on the year. A pair of Cyclone homers, courtesy of McKenna Andrews and Tatum Johnson, accounted for three of the team’s runs as the team moved on.
Johnson and Andrews tied for a team-high with two hits apiece, while Andrews tied for a game-best with two RBI. Isabelle Nosan, Angelina Allen and Jessie Clemons accounted for the team’s three other hits on the day. Freshman Karlee Ford had the team’s fourth RBI, driving in Clemons on a BYU error.
ISU pitcher Jaiden Ralston (12-9) went the distance for the first time in her career, as the junior hurled all seven frames and allowed just two runs on six hits limiting the potent BYU offense that scored a combined 25 runs against ISU in Ames. Ralston has eclipsed her combined wins from her freshman and sophomore seasons.
For the Cougars, Aleia Agbayani led the charge, as she tied for the team-lead with two hits. Agbayani accounted for both of the team’s RBI, as she had a solo blast and drove in the second on a double. Lindy Milkowski also had a pair of hits for BYU. Kate Dahle (8-6) got the nod to start, allowing three earned runs on six hits.
How it Happened
Iowa State allowed a single baserunner in the top of the first, a walk, before threatening in the bottom of the frame. A pair of two-out singles put runners on the corners for ISU, but a strikeout would end the opportunity.
BYU then struck first in the second, as Aleia Agbayani blasted a one-out ball over the right center fence to put the Cougars on top, 1-0.
The Cyclones stranded a leadoff walk in the bottom of the second but were able to get on the board in the third. A one-out single from Clemons was moved over by a fielding error by BYU which allowed Johnson to get aboard. An Allen walk would then load the bases with just one out. A second BYU error allowed Ford to reach as she drove in Clemons and tied things up at one. A Cougar double play would end the inning though as BYU escaped with just one run surrendered.
After BYU stranded a runner in the top of the fourth, ISU plated a pair in the bottom half to take the lead. A leadoff single from Isabelle Nosan started things off for the Cyclones. An out later, Andrews blasted her fourth home run of the season over the right center fence to put Iowa State on top, 3-1.
Iowa State tacked on one more in the fifth, thanks to the bat of Johnson. After BYU stranded a HBP in the top half, Johnson led off the bottom with a screaming liner that just cleared the right center fence to give the Cyclones a three-run cushion.
The Cougars would plate one in the sixth, but that was as close as they’d come as Iowa State was able to walk away with  postseason win and advance to Friday.
Thursday Notes
Home Runs
Iowa State: McKenna Andrews (4), Tatum Johnson (7)
BYU: Aleia Agbayani (5)
 
WP – Jaiden Ralston (12-9): 7.0 IP, 6 hits, 2 runs, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts
SV – N/A
LP – Lillie Walker (8-6): 4.0 IP, 6 hits, 4 runs (3 earned), 2 walks, 1 strikeout
 
On Deck
With Friday night’s victory, Iowa State has advanced to the Big 12 Championship Semifinals where they will face 12th-ranked two seed Arizona. The Wildcats were one of two Big 12 school ISU did not face this season, and play is scheduled to begin at 5:30 pm with action set to be streamed live on ESPN+.

Iowa baseball hosts No. 10 Oregon State beginning Friday night in Des Moines

Sports

May 8th, 2025 by Ric Hanson

The goal for Iowa baseball coach Rick Heller is to win a series against 10th ranked Oregon State while setting up his pitching for next week’s Big Ten series at home against fifth ranked Oregon. The Hawkeyes and Beavers open a three game series Friday night at Principal Park in Des Moines and with the potential Big Ten clinching series against the Ducks starting on Thursday, Iowa starting pitchers will have shorter stints this weekend.

Heller says the series against Oregon State will be good preparation for Oregon.

Oregon State will have plenty to play for. The Beavers are in a position where they could host an NCAA Regional with a strong finish.

As the state’s only division one program, Heller says playing a series in Des Moines is a great way to promote college baseball.

The series will continue with single games Saturday and Sunday.

Drake football coach Joe Woodley on adding depth

Sports

May 8th, 2025 by Ric Hanson

Drake football coach Joe Woodley says he may search the transfer portal to add depth at running back and wide receiver. The position group were a bit of a concern for the Bulldogs, who closed out spring drills last week.

Woodley says how active they are in the portal may depend on how many Drake players may decide to move on.

Woodley says Drake has been and will remain a program that develops players and the portal will be used to fill some immediate needs.

Woodley will debut as Drake coach on August 28th when the Bulldogs host Upper Iowa.

ACGC Looking to Stay Hot After Conference Championship

Sports

May 8th, 2025 by Jack McGonigal

The ACGC Chargers are cooking into the last few regular season competitions after winning two of the last three meets including taking the conference title. Head Coach Cody Matthewson says this success has been a long time in the making.

With the West Central Activities Conference Championship, that was ACGC’s sixth first-place finish at a meet this season and Matthewson says points are coming from everywhere. However, he believes the hurdlers have been the Chargers’ strongest weapon this season.

ACGC had six finish place finishes at the conference meet and have high hopes for what lies ahead.

The Chargers will compete at the Panorama co-ed meet and the Merritt-Charger Invitational before the state qualifying meet at Madrid.
