COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Iowa scored five runs in the third and then put the game away with five more over the final two innings to defeat Tulsa, 11-3, on Sunday, the final day of the Texas A&M Invitational.
Shelby Estocado went 1-for-3 with an RBI, while Sarah Briers also drove in a run for the Golden Hurricane (3-6). The Hawkeyes (4-5) were led by Sarah Kurtz, who went 4-for-4 with a double and four RBIs.
TU used an Iowa miscue in the bottom of the first to take an early 1-0 lead. Julia Hollingsworth reached on an error and quickly stole second. She would touch home two batters later when Estocado picked up an infield hit for the 1-0 cushion.
However, Iowa took control with its five-run third inning and added another in the fourth for a 6-1 advantage.
In the bottom of the fourth, Tulsa started a comeback with two runs to trim the deficit to 6-3.
Estocado and Haley Meinen pulled off a double-steal as Estocado swiped home while Meinen took second. Briers then plated Meinen with a grounder to again cut into the deficit.
But that would prove to be all for the Hurricane offense and the Hawkeyes scored three in the sixth and two more in the seventh to take the 11-3 final.
TU will be back in action next weekend when it will travel to Boca Raton, Fla., for the FAU "Strike-Out Cancer" Tournament, Feb. 23-25.
