Especially since there's lots of talk that baseball is going to get cut as a sport. Brommelkamp and others have posted about it.

If they cut baseball, I'll stop supporting IA athletics completely. No, it's not a money generating sport but the B1G with expansion is finally becoming a competitive conference and the Hawks remain competitive within the conference.
 
I agree. With all the new teams in the league i think the Hawks have a chance to make some noise. I’ve heard they’re trying to make the jump for hockey to Big Ten in the possible near future, so I hope they would not cut baseball.
 
Don't look now, but Coach Heller has the Hawks all alone atop the B1G standings. After whipping the Goofers yet again on Friday in Minneapolis, here's the up-to-date conference standings:

IOWA 10 - 2
Oregon 8 - 2
UCLA 8 - 2
Wash 5 - 2
PSU 8 - 4
NW 4 - 3
IND 6 - 5
ILL 4 - 4
Mich 5 - 5
USC 5 - 6
Purd 3 - 4
MSU 3 - 5
MD 2 ' 5
MN 2 - 7
NEB 2 - 7
OSU excuse me TOSU 0 -- 7
 
This team has gotten off to a much better start than last year. Pitching seems to be stronger, good depth which later in the season is key.
 
Gotta love weekend sweeps of two BTen teams. Granted, those teams have a combined 2-14 BTen record (!), but the Gophers' RPI prior to the Iowa series was #24 due to some big early season wins...after the Iowa series they dropped to #38. After the MN series, Iowa's RPI jumped from #120 to #98 now -- primarily because of a SOS ranked #179.
 
Here's an update on the B1G baseball regular season title race. The Hawks have two more wins in the conference than any other team
The top teams and their conference record:
Iowa 12 - 3
UCLA 10 - 3
OR 10 - 5
WA 8 - 4
IN, PSU & USC all are 9 - 6
IL 7 - 5
MI 8 - 7

Iowa has 3 home games vs 4 - 8 NE this weekend
3 road games @ 8 - 7 MI
3 home games vs 9 - 6 IN April 25 - 27. Football open practice is the 26th. Take both in!
3 road games @ 8 - 4 WA
3 home games vs 10 - 5 OR May 15 - 17
They do not play UCLA this regular season.
Nine more home games. The weather will warm up. Get out and support the Hawks as they make a run for the B1G Conference title!

I think the OR games are in Des Moines @ the AAA ballpark
 
Actually, Iowa plays Oregon State in Des Moines, May 9, 10 and 11. Those are non-conference games.
The season ending series with the Ducks is in Iowa City.
 
Friday the Hawks blanked the Bugeaters, 1 - 0 keeping Iowa in first place in the B1G conference.

Saturday's first pitch will be thrown out by Head Hoops Coach Ben McCollum.
Sat and Sun are going to be beautiful days.
GO WATCH THE HAWKS whip our beloved neighbor to the West!
 
With Coach McCollum at the game greeting the fans, the Hawks again whipped the Bugeaters, 11 - 6, courtesy of a big 8th inning rally.

The quest for a series sweep to maintain their B1G conference lead has the first pitch on Sunday at 1:00 at Duane Banks Field.
