In less than ideal weather conditions, Colin and I attended the first home softball game of the season. The Hawkeyes beat South Dakota in a double header taking the first 8-0. One sport that doesn't worry about attendance is the Iowa Softball team. Temperatures hovered in the 50s with a wind chill in the 40s and intermittent rain showers did not keep a close to capacity crowd away. This was also the first game at the Pearl Softball Facility since the floods of 2008 closed the diamonds due to eight feet of water.
