The Buena Vista baseball team will try to lock up the Iowa Conference regular season title this evening when they open a three game series at Cornell. The Beavers have already clinched at least a share of the title and they will be the top seed in next week’s conference tournament in Cedar Rapids.

Buena Vista coach Steve Eddie says he’s very happy for the players as it has been 29 years since they were on top of the conference. Eddie wants his team to close the regular season with a good weekend. He says it would be a little disheartening to go into the conference tournament losing a few games.

Eddie says pitching depth has been a plus this season and he wants to see more of it this weekend. He says they need good outings from their pitchers and they want to play solid defense. Eddie says it has taken a consistent effort to win the conference race.
