With a team batting average of .355 and 327 homeruns and a team ERA of 2.66 the Hawkeyes had good batting and pitching through out the season. My Choice for team batter of the year goes to Right Fielder Erik Lannister who batted .350 with 49 home runs and knocked in 168 runs while scoring 156 times. Team Pitcher of the year goes to Buck Wheat who had a 23-7 record with a 2.09 era in 262 1/3 innings pitched. He also struck out 204 batters while walking 36. His Whip was at .950. The Iowa City Hawkeyes just squeezed by the Torrance Wildfire 3 games to 2. The Hawkeyes in a must win game 5, had no problems knocking off the Wildfire 8-3 to win the Division Series. The Hawkeyes also just squeezed past the very tough Los Angeles Cheesybeards 4 games to 3. In the Must win game 7 the Hawkeyes took the Cheesybeards into extra innings with a 3-3 tie before scoring 3 runs in the top of the 10th with the big play being a 2 run double by Jacques Cousteau. In the bottom of the 10th the Cheesybeards tried to make a comeback run and fell up short. The Iowa City Hawkeyes are the Tier D Blue League Champions.
