MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. ? Iowa State got three-RBI games from Erica Miller and Courtney Wray to lead Iowa State to an 8-2 victory over Iowa Saturday evening at the Metrodome Softball Classic. Iowa State improves to 2-2 on the season.
The Cyclones posted their first win over Iowa since a 4-3 victory on April 16, 2003 and ISU recorded eight runs against the Hawkeyes for the first time since an 8-7 victory on April 20, 1983.
Heidi Kidwell led off the first inning for the Cyclones with a single. After a base hit by Alex Johnson, Sydni Jones plated the first run of the game, bringing Kidwell home on a single. Miller then blasted her first career home run for the Cyclones to give ISU a 4-0 lead after the first frame.
The Hawkeyes cut the lead in half in the top of the third, as Katie Brown hit a two-run home run. Iowa State restored its four-run lead in the bottom half of the inning as Wray had a two-run triple that brought home Jones and Bianca Lopez and make the score 6-2.
Wray was at the plate with the bases loaded in the fourth and was walked to increase the lead to 7-2.
In the fifth, Carleigh Berry recorded an RBI-double to bring home Heidi Kidwell to make the score 8-2.
On the mound, Rachel Zabriskie (2-2) posted her second complete game of the season, giving up two runs on six hits and striking out eight.
