DES MOINES, Iowa – Karlie Charles pitched a one-hit shutout as Iowa State (25-25, 4-11 Big 12) won its final midweek contest of the season, 9-0, against Drake (18-26, 12-11 MVC) in five innings Wednesday evening.
ISU has now won three in a row and four of its last five games.
Charles (8-5) struck out five and walked none in a dominant showing. The junior increased her season strikeout-to-walk ratio to 6.4:1 (64 K, 10 BB), the 20th-best mark in the country.
Angelina Allen logged a career-best four RBIs as part of a 2-for-2 night at the plate. The freshman hit her fourth home run of the season in her first at-bat of the game and drew a pair of walks. Kasey Simpson tied her season high with three RBIs on two hits while Kali Gose (2-of-3, 1 R) also added a multi-hit effort.
The Cyclones started fast with two home runs in the top of the first inning, one each from Allen and Simpson, to jump out to a 3-0 advantage.
Back-to-back singles from Gose and Skyler Ramos, followed by a walk from Kaylee Pond, loaded the bases with no outs for ISU in the second. The Cyclones were only able to muster a run from the threat, however, on a bases-loaded walk by Allen.
Iowa State stretched its lead to 7-0 with a three-run fourth inning, highlighted by a sac-fly from Mikayla Ramos and RBI doubles from Alesia Ranches and Simpson. Allen would add the Cyclones’ final two runs of the night in the fifth inning on a bloop single over the shortstop’s head.

Iowa State will play its final home games of the season this weekend as it hosts Kansas in a three-game set. First pitch in the series opener is slated for Friday at 4 p.m.
AMES, Iowa – Four Cyclones are set to compete in the 2022 Red Bull USA Basketball 3X Nationals, which is held at the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. The event will take place from May 13-15, featuring 16 men’s and 16 women’s basketball teams along with some of the best 3×3 players in the country.
Iowa State’s Lexi Donarski, Nyamer Diew, Ashley Joens and Emily Ryan will represent the Cyclones in the 3×3 competition. The Cyclones earned their invitation based off their appearance in the NCAA Sweet 16.
“Our players are really looking forward to competing in the 3×3 competition this year,” head coach Bill Fennelly said. “It is a fun event and gives them another chance to represent Iowa State on a national stage.”
The 3X Nationals will tip off May 13 with preliminary round games. Teams will be seeded based on preliminary records before entering bracket play. Games will be played on the Hall of Fame’s Jerry Colangelo Court of Dreams, located in the heart of the Museum. The event is open to the public with purchase of admission to the Hall of Fame. Broadcast information, team rosters and the full schedule will be announced at a later date.
The event will serve as the final evaluation of athletes for selection to various 2022 USA Basketball 3×3 men’s and women’s national teams, including the 2022 FIBA 3×3 World Cup, set for June 21-26 in Antwerp, Belgium.
Played on a half court with a 10-minute clock and a 12-second shot clock, the first team to 21 points, or the team in the lead at the end of regulation, is the winner. Participating teams earned their spots in the 2022 Red Bull USA Basketball 3X Nationals either through Red Bull USA Basketball 3X regional qualifying tournaments last fall or via an at-large invitation from USA Basketball.

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa Democratic Party leaders say they’re considering substantial changes to make their Caucuses more straightforward and accessible. Iowa Democratic Party chairman Ross Wilburn has just released a letter to national party leaders, asking that Iowa’s 2024 Caucuses remain first in the presidential nominating process. The Democratic National Committee has made it clear that’s in doubt.
“We’ve got a lot of work to do ahead of us in the next few weeks, but I’m going to fight like hell for Iowa,” Wilburn said, “and I’m going to look forward to making our case before the Rules and Bylaws Committee.” That panel will meet this summer to recommend which states get to go first in the next presidential election. “Iowa is a small rural and accessible state. The infrastructure to rebuild the Democratic brand for rural America is right here in Iowa,” Wilburn says. “The DNC, the national Democratic Party, just needs to commit to it and not waste this opportunity.”
Wilburn is arguing Iowa represents geographic diversity that’s important for the party’s prospects across the country. “If Democrats can’t figure out how to talk to rural voters, then we’re in big trouble as a party,” Wilburn said. “It’s no secret the party’s been losing seats across the country because of a weakened appeal to rural, working class Americans and to maintain the White House and make gains in congress, we can’t afford to ignore this group of Americans and Iowans.” National party leaders are also saying that states positioned to go first in the 2024 presidential election should have diverse populations. Wilburn says as the Iowa Democratic Party’s first black chairman, he will make the case that Iowa has been a progressive leader.
“Iowa has led and the nation has followed when we said that a black man, Barack Obama, could be and should be president of the United States…in saying that love is love and who you choose to marry and start a family with is up to you and the rest of the country followed,” Wilburn says, “and going back to decades before Brown v Board of Education, Iowa said that schools will be integrated.” Wilburn says he’ll also point to the many candidates of color who won municipal elections in Iowa last year.
(Radio Iowa) – Iowa will receive one million dollars as part of a multi-state settlement with TurboTax. The Iowa Attorney General’s office says TurboTax has agreed to pay the states involved 141 million dollars following claims the company got people to pay for tax preparation services that should have been free.
More than 33-thousand Iowans who used the service from 2016 through 2018 are eligible for a direct payment of approximately 30 dollars for each year that they paid for filing services. if you are one of the people involved — you will automatically receive a notice and a check by mail.
(Des Moines, Iowa) – The number of new COVID-19 cases in Iowa continues to rise. The Iowa Health Department says more than 2,700 positive tests were reported over the past week. That’s a 36% increase from last week.
Ninety-one people are hospitalized with the virus, up seven from the last report. Eight people are in the ICU with COVID-19. Four more COVID-19-related deaths were reported in the last week.
The total number of deaths since the beginning of the pandemic has reached more than 9,500.
(Radio Iowa) – There will soon be a change in state restrictions on sports agents. For nearly a year, college athletes have been able to profit from the use of their name, image or likeness in commercials, on clothing or used in other ways. N-C-Double-A rules let them hire an agent to strike those deals. Senator Craig Johnson of Independence says the new state law will ensure agents don’t exploit Iowa college athletes.
Representative Anne Osmundson of Volga says the new Iowa law will align with how other states are regulating agents.
The House unanimously voted to make this move a year ago and the Iowa Senate took a final vote on the bill in March. The law takes effect on July 1st.
Iowa baseball coach Rick Heller hopes a normal schedule with a full non-conference slate will help Big Ten teams when it comes to NCAA selection time. A year ago, the Big Ten played a conference-only schedule and it was costly. Only conference champ Nebraska and runner-up Maryland made the field of 64.
And it stopped the momentum Big Ten baseball had prior to COVID. Four teams made the NCAA Tournament in 2019 and Michigan made it all the way to the College World Series championship.
The Hawkeyes are 26-15 overall and currently fourth in the Big Ten. They host Purdue in a three game series this weekend.
