AMES, Iowa ? Heidi Kidwell hit her first career home run and Rachel Zabriskie allowed just one run as Iowa State beat North Dakota State, 6-1, Tuesday afternoon at the Southwest Athletic Complex. The second game of the doubleheader was cancelled due to cold and windy conditions.
After NDSU (17-13) got on the scoreboard in the second inning, Kidwell lifted an Andi Padilla pitch over the centerfield wall to score Bianca Lopez and give the Cyclones a 2-1 lead.
