The year for Rick Heller and Co. has been one that has gone far different than many predicted. One that has failed to meet the lofty expectations placed on them by themselves and the media. Despite that, they arrived in Omaha this week hoping to put the entire regular season behind them and create some magic on the diamond where dreams come true every year. Unfortunately, their shot at a magical run got off to the wrong start. Coming into the game, Jack Young had given up just nine walks in 31.0 innings of work. In the bottom of the tenth, he issued three straight walks and Stephen Hrustich wa...

Although the Hawkeyes final regular season series against Florida International had nearly no meaning on paper, it was imperative that they put together a good weekend prior to the Big Ten Tournament. The results of the series were not going to change the fact that they have to win the whole thing in Omaha to earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament. That being said, it’s much easier to arrive in Omaha with a hopeful attitude after a successful weekend and that’s exactly what Rick Heller’s Hawkeyes will do. After an impressive offensive night on Friday, Iowa kept the bats going on Saturday afternoon...

For a moment, it looked like Iowa was going to pull off a ninth inning rally to walk it off in front of the fans at Principal Park. Bases loaded, two outs, winning run on second base, with Raider Tello at the plate. The crowd of over 4,000 fans came to their feet, urging Tello to come up with a clutch hit. Instead, FIU reliever Ryan Carbacas came up with a strikeout to end the game. It just wasn’t the Hawkeyes night, a sentiment that has been shared far too often this season. “Really tough loss. Really tough to stomach one like that,” said head coach Rick Heller. “It just wasn’t to be, so we h...

Iowa closes Big Ten play with a 14-10 record and could be anywhere from a 4 to a 6 at the Big Ten Tournament. Although Illinois is the Big Ten leader in home runs hit, it was the Hawkeyes that used that long ball to throw the first punch of the game. On the first pitch of the game, Andy Nelson took starter Payton Hutchings over the wall in right-center for a solo home run. T...

Ben Wilmes sent the Illinois faithful packing a few minutes early. They were sticking around hoping to see their Illini make a comeback in the final inning, but a grand slam off the bat of Wilmes in the top of the ninth put the finishing touches on a 10-4 win for the Hawkeyes. His 400 foot blast bounced into the grassy parking lot beyond the left field wall and moments later the ball was not alone, as many fans quickly headed to their cars. After dropping the series opener on Friday night, Rick Heller and Co. bounced back with a win, setting up a decisive series finale on Sunday afternoon. On ...

The field generally lends itself to plenty of offense and it’s perfect for an Illinois team that leads the conference in many offensive categories.
