Iowa fends off sweep; earns first home win

After coming within one strike of having a perfect game thrown against them in the opener of Monday’s twin bill, the offense notched four runs to salvage the finale of the four-game set against the Oklahoma City Dodgers by a 4-3 final.

Outfielder Junior Lake drove home the winning run in the bottom of the ninth after left-hander James Russell turned in two perfect innings of relief work in the eighth and the top of the ninth to keep the game tied 3-3.
