SO SWEET!

Iowa’s 12 stolen bases surpass the previous team high of 10, which occurred twice, most recently against Loras in 1980.

Kellen Strohmeyer’s five stolen bases tie the individual program record, set by Lance Platz at Purdue in 1979.

On the move! 🏃‍♂️💨💨

Our 12 stolen bases in Game Two today set a new team record!

Strohmeyer's five stolen bases also tie the individual program record.

The Hawkeyes are wearing a patch this season honoring longtime PA announcer Gregg Bentler, who passed away last July.

Bentler was the voice of countless Hawkeye events for more than two decades, primarily baseball and gymnastics and, in recent years, men’s basketball.
