ROSEMONT, Ill. -- The University of Iowa softball team fell to Lipscomb, 7-0, and Loyola-Chicago, 4-0, on Saturday afternoon. The Hawkeyes drop to 3-6 on the season following day two of the Total Control Sports Invitational.
Runners left on base haunted the Hawkeyes in both games. Iowa stranded a combined 19 runners (10 against Liscomb, 9 against Loyola) on the day.
“We have to give ourselves opportunities to get in hitters counts,” said UI head coach Marla Looper. “That’s where we struggled. We got runners on and then we got too anxious. We have to do a better job of taking care of the things we can control.
