Well … the Iowa baseball squad couldn’t quite muster the same magic tonight in Houston that led to its tantalizing B1G title run.
The elimination game between the Cougars and Hawkeyes started rather ominously, to the tune of a more than 5-hour rain/lightning delay down in southeastern Texas. Nonetheless, college baseball fans were (eventually) treated to a gripping game between two talented teams, which featured a compelling tug-of-war on the scoreboard.
What started as a pitcher’s duel devolved into an entertaining, back-and-forth affair.
Houston drew first blood in the 3rd inning following a sacrifice fly, but the seal wouldn’t truly be broken before an explosive 5th inning for the Hawkeyes.
