didn't even score in two games.
Last Tuesday, Iowa had a game
with Western Illinois. The
Westerwinds had beaten Iowa last
year in Macomb, but this year it
was Iowa's victory. It was not
easy, however, as the game was
scoreless after the usual seven
innings, but the Hawks got a run
in the eighth for the win.
Then, on Wednesday, Iowa
State invaded Pearl Field, and the
result was not a happy one if you
were a Hawkeye fan. It was one of
those games the Hawks probably
should have won, but the
Cyclones took advantage of an
Iowa meltdown in the seventh
inning to get the win.
It had been a close game all the
way,'but Iowa had managed to
build a 3-1 lead going into the
final frame. Iowa State loaded the
bases with one out, and, although
the Hawks still had a two run lead,
there was some nervousness set-
ting in.
Then, Kristi Hanks struck out a
batter and it was still 3-1 with two
out. She threw two pitches for
strikes to get the jump on the next
batter and Hawkeye fans began to
breathe easier.
At that point, Kristi threw the
ball everywhere but across the
plate. She threw four straight balls
and walked the batter, forcing in a
run. No problem. Iowa is still
ahead 3-2, and there were two
outs.
Then, Amber Lessenger, from
nearby Grandview, stepped to the
plate for the Cyclones. She drilled
the ball straight at the right fielder.
The ball probably should have
been caught for the third out, but
was misplayed just enough to let it
go over the fielder's head all the
way to the fence.By the time the
runners stopped running, three
runs had been scored and
Lessenger was parked on third.
In defense of the right fielder, it
was late in the day and she was
probably looking pretty directly
into the sun and may have lost the
ball. She took a couple of steps in,
realized her mistake, and it was
too late tO recover.
So, congratulations to the
Cyclones for seizing the opportu-
nity. They haven't had a very good
season so far, btit that game
should have made the ride back to
Ames much shorter and happier.
ent.
In the Big Ten, since the teams
don't play home-and-home series
during the year, they switch halt"
innings in the second game.
Therefore, Iowa became the visi-
tors in the second game and batted
in the top half of the innings.
The Hawks jumped out to a 2-
0 lead in the first, but saw Purdue
come up with four runs of its own
in the bottom of the first. Iowa got
single runs in a couple of other
innings and the game went into
the seventh tied at 4-4.It was still
that way in the bottom of the
inning when Purdue threatened to
win the game.
The Boilermakers had a runner
on third with one out. Again, there
was a drive to right field. This
time the fielder caught the ball for
the second out. At that point I was
thinking how nice that was, but
the winning run was still going to
tag and come home after the
catch. Well, she tagged and head-
ed for home and so did the ball.
The throw from right field was
a frozen rope that bounced once
right in front of Iowa's catcher
who grabbed the ball and tagged
the runner, ending the inning.
Alicia Gerlach won the game
for the Hawks with a lead-off
homerun over the right center-
field fence in the ninth. It was
really a great game to watch if you
didn't care who won.
On Saturday and Sunday, Iowa
had a couple of easier victories
against Indiana. Gerlach was on
fire at the plate all week, hitting a
lot of singles and doubles, and
putting the ball over the fence
twice.
The Hawks have a tough week-
end ahead of them this week.
They travel to Mich!gan State for
a double-header on Friday and
then on to Ann Arbor for single
games Saturday and Sunday
against league-leading Michigan.
If the Hawks can hit Marie
Barda's pitching in Ann Arbor just
half as well as they tagged Purdue
and Indiana, then Iowa might get a
couple of wins. That will be some
accomplishment, though.
Barda is a great pitcher. She's
the one who pitched back to back
shutouts on the same afternoon in
Iowa City last year in the Big Ten
Tournament to beat Penn State
and Iowa for the title.
