On Monday, the Iowa softball team announced it will hold walk-on tryouts for Iowa students.

The program has set the tryout date at 2 p.m. Aug. 30 in Pearl Field.

Only full-time students interested in trying out should submit their name, contact information, and Iowa ID number to assistant coach Adrianna Baggetta via email by Aug. 25.

There are also athletics-training medical forms that should be filled out and returned by Aug. 28.

Walk-on tryouts have seemed to work in the past for the Hawkeyes. They snagged former first baseman Kaitlyn Mullarkey as a walk-on, and she did great things during her time at Iowa.

While Mullarkey graduated in May, maybe the Hawkeyes can add more talent to their roster.
