Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber and Anthony Rizzo all made stops in Des Moines to play for the Iowa Cubs at some point in their major league careers. On Friday night at Principal Park, it felt like those powerful bats were back in the ballpark playing for the Iowa Baseball team. The Hawkeyes started their onslaught with eight runs in the first inning and rolled to a 15-2, run-rule victory over Florida International to tie the series at a game apiece. “The guys were dialed in and I think after last night, that one stung a little bit,” said head coach Rick Heller. “The focus was definitely there and...

June 1, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese will square off for the first time in the WNBA. Initially, the game between Clark’s Indiana Fever and Reese’s Chicago Sky would be on NBA TV, meaning ESPN missed out on the rematch between the former Iowa and LSU stars. That is no longer the case. The game is moving from NBA TV to ESPN, tipping off at noon ET. That means ESPN will get to show the first professional showdown between Clark and Reese after two high-profile matchups in the NCAA Tournament. Given the viewership surge the duo helped build at the college level, it could turn into a major win for ...

Wednesday night was the highly-anticipated regular season debut for Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. From an atmosphere standpoint, it wasn’t anything that Caitlin isn’t used to. It was a near capacity crowd at Mohegan Sun arena and it was the first time the Sun have sold out a home opener since 2003. As for the play on the court, it was a rocky start for the Fever, as they fell to Connecticut 92-71. Caitlin Clark finished with a team-high 20 points on 5/15 shooting, including four made threes. Things did not go well in the passing department, as she totaled just three assists to ten turno...
