IOWA CITY, Iowa – The University of Iowa men’s baseball team rolled to victory over the Grand View Vikings, 25-3, on Tuesday evening at Duane Banks Field.

Fueled by a 15 run fifth inning the Hawkeyes put up the 25 runs on 27 hits, tying a school record set in 1986.

Anthony Watts got the start on the mound for the Hawkeyes in a bullpen game. Nine pitchers saw action for Iowa and held the Vikings to three runs on eight hits. Gannon Archer, Ben DeTaeye and Justin Hackett each struck out three in their inning of work.

The Hawkeyes allowed just one walk and one hit by pitch while striking out 14.

“The pitching was outstanding today,” said head coach Rick Heller. “Really happy with the way we went out there. Had a couple guys give up hits, but the thing I really liked was that they just went back to work and that is what you have to do. That was a really good sign.”

It was a parade around the bases for the Iowa offense. The Hawkeyes were led by Raider Tello who was 3-for-4 with six RBIs, Gable Mitchell was 4-for-6 with three RBIs and Davis Cop added three RBIs on a home run.

Four other Hawkeyes each tallied two RBIs: Andy Nelson (4-for-4), Kyle Huckstorf (4-for-5), Blake Guerin (1-for-3) and Michael Seegers (2-for-4).

“That was unbelievable,” said Heller. “A bunch of guys got in the game, and a bunch of guys produced hits. Every inning. Like we talked about this past weekend, a quality at bat is a quality at bat. Not chasing, not expanding the zone, not getting yourself out. Talking what they give you and then when you do get a good pitch, do some damage with it. We are in a good place right now offensively.”

Iowa returns to action on Friday opening Big Ten play against Purdue in West Lafayette, Indiana at 3 p.m. (CT).

Senior Mac McClear tied Meyer on the leaderboard at 2-over par. McClear shot 1-over par (73) during Tuesday’s final round. It is McClear’s second top-25 finish of the season.

Freshman Noah Kent carded a final round 3-under par (69). Kent finished the tournament at 7-over par, tied for 34^th, moving up 40 spots in the standings.

Texas Tech won the tournament at 7-over par, beating the field by two strokes. Bret Gray of Sam Houston and Yuki Moriyama of UNLV went to a playoff to determine the individual medalist. Moriyama claimed the individual medalist after getting a birdie on the first playoff hole.
