#9 Kirkwood Falls to #3 Iowa Western

Council Bluffs, IA- The ninth-ranked Kirkwood Eagles traveled to Council Bluffs this past weekend to take on the #3 ranked team in DI NJCAA Baseball, Iowa Western. The Eagles were coming off two big wins against Indian Hills at home while the Reievers were sitting at 12-0 in the ICCAC. 

The first game would prove to be a close one throughout. Brayden Hellum and Owen Ross would both have a two-hit game for the Eagles but Kirkwood would fail to capitalize with runs. Even with Andrew Carroll pitching 6 innings and allowing only 6 hits while striking out 4, Kirkwood would drop the first game to Iowa Western by a score of 3-0. 

The second game would see the Eagles get on the board with an RBI by Clayton Campidilli, however, the offense by the Reivers would prove to be too much for Kirkwood. The Reivers outhit the Eagles 11-4 and ended up taking the game 1-11. 

In the final game of the series, the offense of Iowa Western would again prove to be too much and the Reivers would close out the weekend with a 17-0 win.

Kirkwood looks to get back on track at home on Tuesday against Iowa Lakes.
