Iowa (10-4) opened things up with nine runs over a three inning span to hand the Hoyas their second tough loss of the day, 13-1.
In just his second career start, Chris Giordano (Orlando, Fla./Lake Highland) went 5.2 innings, saving a tired bullpen.

Toomey, entering the game as a pinch-hitter, doubled with one out in the ninth. After a Nick Collins (Carthage, N.C./Union Pines) single, Steve Anderson (Albany, N.Y./Northfield Mt. Hermon Prep (Mass.)/Guilderland) grounded into a fielder's choice to plate Toomey. The run ended a scoreless streak of 24 innings for the Hoyas' offense.
