Loras is in the driver’s seat as the Iowa Conference baseball race heads into its final week. The Duhawks are 12-6 and lead Beuna Vista and Wartburg by a game in the loss column.

Loras coach Carl Tebon who says the players are thrilled to be part of a title chase and have worked themselves into a great opportunity to control their own destiny. Tebon says he is not surprised the league race has been this close, as he says the conference play has always been tight and he knows anyone can win.

Loras has been close several times over the past few years. Tebon hopes they can get over the hump and win the regular season title.

Loras plays the University of Dubuque on Wednesday before closing out the league race this weekend with a three game series at Cornell.
