Iowa amassed 14 hits and took advantage of five Hawaii errors to surge to a 10-8 baseball victory in the first game of today’s doubleheader at Les Murakami Stadium.

The Rainbow Warriors scored five in the third inning for a 7-3 lead.

But the Hawkeyes scored four in the fourth, ousting UH starting pitcher Aaron Davenport, and adding three in the seventh. Austin Martin doubled home pinch-runner Matt Berst to break a 7-all tie.

Trace Hoffman, who pitched three innings of scoreless relief, earned his first victory of the season. Jason Foster pitched the final two innings for his first save.

Logan Pouelsen, who had entered as an injury replacement for first baseman Alex Baeza, hit a solo homer in the UH ninth.
