The Iowa baseball team took two of three from Austin Peay this past weekend to give new head coach Rick Heller his first two victories as a Hawkeye.

The Hawk’s played a double-header Feb. 15 because inclement weather forced the Feb. 14 matchup to be rescheduled.  The Black and Gold erupted for a combined 26 runs to sweep the double-header, winning by scores of 11-5 and 15-13.

Austin Peay took the final game of the series Sunday, ralling to score 5 runs and take the game 7-4, chasing starting pitcher Tyler Peyton in his first game as a Hawkeye.

The Hawkeyes will return to action this weekend at Mississippi Valley State.
