IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The South Dakota State fell in both games of a doubleheader at Iowa on Tuesday at Bob Pearl Softball Field. The Hawkeyes won by 7-1 and 4-2 scores over the Jackrabbits in the non-conference tilt.

SDSU scored the first run of the game, however Iowa scored the next seven en route to the 7-1 win to open the day for the Hawkeyes.

The Jacks got on the board in the top of the second. Abby Gentry hit a lead-off double and was advanced to third base by Alli Boyle, then was plated on an Emma Vike RBI ground out.

Iowa responded by scoring three runs in the bottom of the frame. The Hawkeyes extended their lead as starting pitcher Jalen Adams kept the Jackrabbit lineup in check. Adams threw a complete game as she allowed one run on three hits and four walks while striking out six batters.

Gentry, Vike and Madi Conklin recorded hits for the Jacks. Tayler Baker and Hailey Herman each pitched three innings for SDSU. Baker was credited with the loss and fell to 4-4 on the season.

The second game of the meeting saw the Hawkeyes jump out to a 3-0 edge after three innings. The Hawkeyes led 4-0 heading to the top of the seventh with the Jackrabbits coming up to the plate.

A lead-off walk set Gentry up who drove in pinch runner Quinn Marnocha. Gentry wound up at second with an RBI double. After advancing to third base, she'd be plated on an infield single by Vike to cut the deficit to 4-2.

Iowa starter Talia Tretton got out of the jam with a game-ending ground out. Tretton also pitched a complete game as she allowed two runs on four hits, while she struck out 10 Jackrabbits.

Four Jacks produced hits in the game including Mia Jarecki and Amanda Vacanti. Sylvia Shromoff got the start in the circle and was competitive. She threw four innings and gave up three runs (two earned) on six hits. Shromoff didn't walk a batter, while she struck out three, though she fell to 1-1 on the season. Madi Mangulis came in for two innings of relief and gave up one unearned run on three hits to go along with two strikeouts.
