This Week in Peacock Baseball... 
Upper Iowa will remain on the road for six games this week as they visit the Golden Bears of Concordia University, St. Paul on Wednesday and then travel to the University of Minnesota Duluth for a four-game set with the Bulldogs on Saturday and Sunday.  UIU bounced back last week winning four of their six games away from home and pushing their Northern Sun record back over .500.  The Peacocks split a double header at Winona State University and then took the final three games of a four-game series at Bemidji State University.  UIU has now won three straight and five of their last eight games to reach a sixth place tie with Concordia in the NSIC standings.
