Iowa baseball stuns Bradley with walk-off grand slam

Tyler Cropley's ninth-inning grand slam clinched Iowa baseball's win over Bradley on March 28.

With Iowa baseball and Bradley tied in the bottom of the ninth inning on Wednesday night, Hawkeyes senior Tyler Cropley stepped into the batter’s box. He was looking for a fast ball he could elevate to the outfield. The bases were loaded with one out, so that outcome would likely be enough to drive home the game-winning run.

“I guess I put it a little further in the air than I was planning on doing,” Cropley said after the game. “But that’s fine with me.”

Instead of hitting a sacrifice fly, Cropley launched a fast ball over the wall in left field for a walk-off grand slam.

“There’s always some adversity it seems like, and we come out and we do compete when that adversity strikes,” said Cropley, who finished 3-for-5 with five RBIs. “It just shows how strong we are and how strong we’re going to be down the road.”

With the win, Iowa improved to 14-8 on the season. Next up for the Hawkeyes is a three-game set with Illinois, which will start Friday in Champaign, Ill.
