Iowa baseball is on a little bit of a tear here, winning five of its last six, most recently routing Coe last night, 16-1. Iowa was originally slated to take on Bradley, but poor weather forced Iowa to schedule a last-minute game against D-III Coe.
Iowa’s starters only lasted a couple innings, as the Hawkeyes scored 8 runs in the first frame alone against the outmatched Kohawks, while Iowa’s pitchers gave up 9 hits combined, allowing Coe to draw blood just once.
The superlative on the night came from sophomore Lorenzo Elion, who hit for the cycle against Coe just a few days after making it on Sports Center’s top plays.
