Peacock Baseball Sweep Magicians in Memphis

Upper Iowa kicked off the 2016 campaign with a three-game sweep of the Magicians of LeMoyne-Owen College.

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 | Box Score 3 Full recaps to follow after the tabulation of all stats from the weekend.

The Upper Iowa baseball team couldn't have asked for a better start to their 2016 season.  The Peacocks swept a three-game series at LeMoyne-Owen College in Memphis, Tenn. which included a double header (two seven-inning games) on Saturday and a single nine-inning game on Sunday.

UIU won game one 24-1 behind starter Brett Fanning, who returned to the mound for the first time since opening day last year.  Fanning only threw 1.1 innings last season when a ball back up the middle ended his season with a leg injury.  The Peacocks then took game two, 15-0, in support of starter Tyus Adkins.  On Sunday, Mitch Moser climbed the hill and UIU kept their hot-hitting at the plate to win 21-6.  In total the Peacocks outscored the Magicians 60-7 in the three games.

Upper Iowa will now wait until the University's spring break when they play 8 games from Mar. 6-12 in Clearwater, Fla. at the Winning Inning Invitational.
