For the first time since 1990 the Iowa baseball team is headed to an NCAA Regional. The Hawkeyes are the two-seed in a regional hosted by Missouri State and open Friday at noon against third seeded Oregon. The Hawkeyes finished the regular season with a record of 39-16.
Iowa coach Rick Heller envisioned this day when he took the job two years ago and is not surprised it happened this quickly. Heller says it was no fluke and the Hawkeyes earned their bid to the tournament.
Host and top seeded Missouri State will host Canisius in the other first round game.
