IOWA CITY — Iowa baseball coach Rick Heller feels his Hawkeyes have a bright future. Iowa finished the season with a record of 44-16. It equals a school record for wins.

Heller says it was important for so many returning players to experience a regional.

Adding pitching depth is important. Iowa’s bullpen was exposed on the final day of the regional.

Iowa was eliminated from an NCAA regional on Sunday night with a loss to Indiana State.

NEW YORK (AP) — A former Minnesota Vikings part owner who defrauded a short-lived professional football league while carrying out a $700 million cryptocurrency scam has been sentenced to over six years in prison. Reginald Fowler was sentenced Monday in Manhattan federal court to six years and three months in prison. The Alliance of American Football met a speedy end in 2019 when it ran out of money. Prosecutors say Fowler lied to the league’s executives when he claimed to control bank accounts with tens of millions of dollars from real estate investments and government contracts that he could use to support the league.
