Panthers bash 57 hits against rival Iowa

After two weeks away from playing games the UNI Club Baseball Team came out swinging. Iowa who started the weekend at the top of the conference couldn�t avoid the 33 hits the Panthers put up to get 2 big conference wins the first day. On the second day the Hawkeyes squeaked by with two 1-run victories. The panthers are now 5-4 in conference which puts them right in the mix for the conference title. They will have to come out hitting again next weekend when they travel to Nebraska.
