Iowa baseball picked up a pair of convincing wins over the weekend in Port Charlotte, Florida.

The Hawkeyes (8-5) toppled Western Michigan on March 6 and Georgetown on March 7 before losing to Army on Sunday. Despite the loss, it was yet another successful weekend trip for Rick Heller and Company.

Iowa had no issues with offense in its two wins. The Hawkeyes beat Western Michigan 10-0 in seven innings, then took down Georgetown 22-2. In other words, the Hawkeyes outscored their first two opponents 32-2.

Jack Dreyer pitched the entirety of the win over the Broncos. In his seven innings, Dreyer allowed just three hits while striking out seven batters. It was a great bounce-back performance from Dreyer, considering he lasted just three innings the week prior.

Iowa’s 10 runs against Western Michigan came on 13 hits. Ben Norman went 3-for-4 and Peyton Williams finished 2-for-4 with 3 RBIs.

Then, against Georgetown, Iowa’s offense exploded for a season-high scoring effort. The Hawkeyes 22 runs came off 15 hits. Izaya Fullard led the charge, going 4-for-6 from the plate.

In the loss to Army, Iowa’s offense wasn’t as potent, but it still wasn’t terrible. The Hawkeyes managed 11 hits, but they just couldn’t string together any substantial run.

“We were able to get 11 hits on the day and had chances,” Heller said in a release. “Give Army credit, they had a lot of two-out, two-strike hits. We didn’t execute our pitches like we were capable of.”
