The Hawks had six home games and managed to win five of them after coming off that horri- ble weekend at Illinois where they On Friday, Iowa played host to Purdue for a double-header. The Hawks got some timely hitting, took advantage of some Purdue miscues, and won the first game, 7-1.

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.
