Iowa Sweeps Rutgers in Regular Season Finale

Sports

May 4th, 2025 by Jack McGonigal

IOWA CITY, Iowa – The University of Iowa softball team shutout Rutgers, 4-0, on Sunday afternoon at Bob Pearl Field in the regular season finale. The win completed the series sweep for the Hawkeyes, their fourth of the Big Ten season and most in a season since 2010.

Junior Jalen Adams (25-5) got the start and threw her 20th complete game of the season allowing no runs on three hits and struck out two. Sophomore Soo-Jin Berry led the way for Iowa, delivering the big hit for the Hawkeyes – a two RBI double in the third inning.

The Scarlet Knights out hit the Hawkeyes for the third game in a row, but the Hawkeyes took advantage of the free passes picking up 19 walks and four hit by pitches over three games.

Sophomore Jena Young started Iowa off with a walk in the first inning and got into scoring position after a sacrifice bunt and a ground out, but was left on as the inning came to a close.

Adams sat down Rutgers in order in the third inning. The Hawkeyes were first on the board in the bottom of the inning. Young started the two-out rally with a walk, and Tory Bennett and Desiree Rivera followed suit to load the bases. Senior Hannah Lindsay was then hit by a pitch to bring home Young for Iowa’s first run of the day. Sophomore Soo-Jin Berry then followed up with a double to right field scoring Bennett and Rivera extending the Hawkeye lead, 3-0.

Adams continued to dominate, retiring the Scarlet Knights in order the fifth. Iowa added an insurance run in the sixth as junior Avery Jackson’s speed was too much for the Rutgers defense. She reached on a fielder’s choice and moved into scoring position on an error. She then advanced to third on a passed ball and scored an another throwing error giving Iowa a 4-0 lead.

Adams closed out the win for Iowa with another one, two, three inning in the seventh.

Iowa finished the game with four runs on two hits and left five runners on. Rutgers had no runs on three hits and left four runners on base.

Cyclones Wrap Regular Season with 4-3 Win over Baylor

Sports

May 4th, 2025 by Jack McGonigal

AMES, Iowa – It was a joyous Senior Day at the Cyclone Softball Complex Sunday afternoon, as Iowa State (30-22, 15-9 Big 12) sent out seniors Angelita Fuentes and Angelina Allen by wrapping up the regular season with a win, defeating Baylor (26-26, 11-13 Big 12) by a score of 4-3.
With the win, the Cyclones secured the number three seed in next week’s Big 12 Championship and will play Thursday. ISU also secured its highest-ever placement in Big 12 standings, surpassing the previous high of four (2022). The win also secured the third season with at least 30 wins under Pinkerton. Prior to his arrival in Ames in 2018, ISU had last had a 30 win season in 1989.
It was a call-and-response kind of game, as for every punch, a counterpunch was thrown. After going up 1-0 in the first, Baylor responded with two runs in the second to take the lead. After ISU knotted things up at two in the fourth, Baylor responded with a third run to retake the lead in the fifth. The Cyclones threw the final punch though, plating a pair in the bottom of the fifth to hold on for their sixth series win of the season.
It was only fitting that a senior led the way for the Cyclones, as Angelina Allen had herself a game in her final outing at the CSC. The Moreno Valley, California native went two-of-three at the plate with what proved to be the game-winning RBI single and a solo blast. Jessie Clemons also had a great performance, going two-of-three too and plating one. Karlee Ford and McKenna Andrews notched the team’s lone two other knocks.
Lauren Schurman (4) got the start for ISU but would end up getting the save as she exited after one frame to re-enter for the final two and close out a one-run lead for the Cyclones. Following Schurman was Abby Huhn who pitched admirably in two frames before Jaiden Ralston (11-9) would relieve her. Ralston allowed one run on three hits with a strikeout as she got the decision.
For Baylor, Amber Toven led the team with two hits while six others collected a knock. Averie Waddell had a team-best two RBI, while Shaylon Govan and Leah Cran each collected a base on balls. Sadie Ross got the start for the Bears, hurling 4.1 frames and allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits before being replaced by Lillie Walker (11-10) who’d pitched complete outings in the last two games.
How it Happened
For the first time this series, Iowa State struck first as it plated a run in the bottom of the first. Clemons started things off with a one-out single up the middle on a full count. She’d then be moved to second on a Tatum Johnson walk. An Allen line out to center field would allow both Clemons and Johnson to advance to put two in scoring position with two outs. An opportunistic Clemons took off a pitch into Sydney Malott’s bat, scoring on a passed ball to put ISU in front, 1-0.
Baylor wasted little time responding, as it scored twice in the second to take the lead. With Huhn taking over for Schurman in the second, BU put a pair on via singles and would eventually see both move into scoring position. With two outs, Averie Waddell singled down the left line to score both and put the Bears in front.
A scoreless third set the stage for the fourth frame where ISU would tie things up at two. Allen stepped into the box to leadoff the frame and battled her way to a full count. On the sixth and final pitch, Allen skyed a Senior Day shot over the right center wall to tie things up. The homer was her first since early March.
Just when it seemed the Cyclones had the momentum, Baylor snatched it back in the top of the fifth, retaking the lead. With a runner on third and two outs, Shaylon Govan hit a ball just out of the reach of Tiana Poole in right to score BU’s third and final run of the day to put it up 3-2.
ISU again had response in store, plating two in the bottom of the frame to regain control. Andrews smacked a one-out double into left center to put ISU in business. A Clemons two out single would score Andrews from first before Clemons herself advanced to third on an outfield overthrow error. After Johnson was hit by a pitch, ISU had two runners on and Allen back up to the plate. The senior delivered again, singling through the left side to score Clemons and give ISU the lead.
The Cyclones would face a couple Baylor threats, including two on with no outs in the sixth, but come out unscathed and earn its series-clinching win.

Hawkeyes Shutout Huskies in Series Finale

Sports

May 4th, 2025 by Jack McGonigal

SEATTLE – The University of Iowa baseball team shutout Washington, 8-0, in the series finale on Sunday afternoon at Husky Ballpark.

“I’m really proud of our team and how we were able to bounce back after two really tough losses,” said head coach Rick Heller.

The Hawkeyes (32-15, 21-6) batted .306 overall and left 12 runners on base.

“You’re going to run into some weekends where everything seems to go right, and this was really the first one where things went wrong. We just didn’t find a way to get it done when we had opportunities in the first two games, but I will say I felt like we played really hard all weekend long,” said Heller. “Two L’s when we really played pretty well was tough. Weaker teams would’ve came out today and cashed it in.”

The Hawkeyes took a 1-0 lead in the fifth when Ben Wilmes hit a solo bomb, his seventh of the season. Iowa extended its lead in the sixth as Caleb Wulf slapped a pinch-hit RBI single up the middle.

The Hawkeyes scored two runs in each of the last three innings, highlighted by RBI singles from Gable Mitchell and Reese Moore and an RBI double from Jaixen Frost.

Mitchell led the offense, going 3-for-6 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored.

The Iowa pitching staff held Washington (27-22, 15-9) to three hits and a .103 batting average.

Reece Beuter got the start on the mound for Iowa and threw seven scoreless innings to improve to 6-0 on the season. He allowed three hits while matching a career-high with eight strikeouts. The right-hander has now thrown 13 straight scoreless innings. This is also Beuter’s second seven-inning shutout this season.

“Reece Beuter was outstanding again today,” said Heller. “He was in pretty much complete control for seven innings. Exactly what we needed when the offense hasn’t been clicking.”

Brant Hogue and Justin Hackett entered the game in relief and combined for three punchouts.

“We’ll enjoy the trip home and regroup and get back to work and hopefully play good baseball here these last two weeks,” said Heller.

Up Next

The Hawkeyes will have a midweek contest at UIC on Wednesday at 6 p.m. (CDT) at Les Miller Field.

It was an emotional return for Clark, who led Iowa to back-to-back trips to the NCAA championship game.

Clark says playing exhibition games on college campuses is a great way to take the game to the fans.

Iowa Walks Off Rutgers in Series Opener

Sports

May 3rd, 2025 by Christian Adams

IOWA CITY, Iowa – The University of Iowa softball team walked off Rutgers, 4-3, on Friday evening at Bob Pearl Field in game one of the three game series.

Junior Jalen Adams (24-5) got the start in the circle for the Hawkeyes. Throwing her 19th complete game of the season, Adams allowed three runs on seven hits and struck out one Scarlet Knight. Sophomore Jena Young led the way for Iowa, going 2-for-3 with two doubles. Sophomore Devin Simon hit her third home run of the season and had three RBIs on the day.

Adams started the game off striking out the first Rutgers batter. After a walk to the two hitter, the Hawkeye defense turned a double play to end the inning. Young started the home half with a leadoff double to left center and moved to third after a sacrifice bunt, but was left stranded as the inning came to a close.

Rutgers was first on the board in the top of the second as the leadoff batter came around to score on an RBI double. Iowa answered back quickly in the home half of the inning. Senior Hannah Lindsay started the inning with double to left center, followed by freshman Talia Tretton reaching on a walk. Simon showed up big for Iowa, delivering a home run off the scoreboard in center field to give the Hawkeyes the lead, 3-1.

Both teams went quietly in the third and fourth innings. The Hawkeyes threatened in the fifth, with Young hitting a leadoff double and got to third on a sac bunt. Rutgers held strong as two Hawkeyes were left on base as the inning ended.

The Scarlet Knights tied the game in the top of the sixth on a two-run home run. Iowa was able to load the bases in the bottom of the inning, but were unable to capitalize.

Adams held strong in the seventh to keep the game tied at three. The Hawkeyes loaded the bases with one out with walks to Desiree Rivera, Lindsay and Tretton. Simon was able to put the ball in play as the runner on third came home on an error by the Rutgers shortstop to win the game.

Iowa finished the game with four runs on four hits and left eight runners on. Rutgers had three runs on seven hits and two errors.
