Fresno St. Topples Iowa

The Iowa Hawkeyes began their trip to California with a 12-10 defeat to Fresno State. A number of Hawkeye hitters posted crooked numbers. DH Brian Burmester had three hits and drove in a pair of Iowa runs. 1B Wes Freie homered, drove in two and scored twice. Freie, SS Jason White and CF Travis Sweet each had two hits, but it wasn't quite enough on a night not fit for pitchers. Iowa fell to 3-2 and Fresno State improved to 9-13.
