Adding pitching depth is important. Iowa’s bullpen was exposed on the final day of the regional.

Iowa ran out of pitching and chances at an NCAA Regional in Terre Haute.
John Leo with the call on the Hawkeye Network. Iowa pitchers hit 10 Indiana State batters and walked six as the Sycamores beat the Hawkeyes 11-8 in the championship round of the regional.
That’s Iowa coach Rick Heller. The Hawkeyes stayed alive earlier Sunday by edging North Carolina 6-5 in a 13-inning game.
The Hawkeyes finish the season with a record of 44-15, tying a school record for wins.
Stephen Ames sank and eight foot birdie putt on the 17th hole to take the lead as he won the Principal Charity Classic at the Wakonda Club in Des Moines. Ames finished at 18-under-par as he edged second place finisher Steve Stricker by a stroke to post his third win of the season on the PGA Tour Champions.
That was Ames on the Golf Channel after his win. He also won the event in 2021.
He pockets 300 thousand dollars for the win.
Monday (Today) is the latest registration deadline for most of the more than 40 sports offered at next month’s Summer Iowa Games. Spokesman Cory Kennedy says it is part of a new three-tiered registration system they are offering.

The summer games are July seventh through the 16th in Ames and the surrounding areas.
