Missouri State sends Iowa packing from the NCAA Tournament.
And just like that, it was over. The crazy, unexpected, and thoroughly enjoyable ride that Iowa baseball took us on this year has reached its end point, in the final of the Springfield Regional. Missouri State dealt the first blow to Iowa in the Regional last, a 5-3 loss, and the finished the job on Sunday night, dropping Iowa via 3-2 scoreline in a game that began just an hour after Iowa staved off elimination with an 11-inning grinder of a win over Oregon earlier in the day on Sunday.
