The ISU softball team registered two comeback victories for a 2-2 record on the weekend.

The Cyclones faced a Big Ten opponent in the Ohio State Buckeyes on Friday. The Buckeyes came into the weekend with a record of just 4-12. Despite their poor record, the Buckeyes overwhelmed the Cyclones for an 8-0 victory. The Cyclones registered just one hit in the game.

Iowa State’s struggles continued later in the day with a 9-3 loss to the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes.

The Cyclones sought to bounce back from their 0-2 start when they faced the North Dakota Fighting Sioux on Saturday. The Cyclones got their offensive attack going against the Fighting Sioux as they scored a comeback 7-6 victory on 13 hits.

In-state rival Drake jumped out to 2-0 lead on the Cyclones in the final game of the weekend. Faced with the possibility of a 1-3 record on the weekend, the Cyclones made a rally in the top of the seventh, scoring three runs for a 3-2 victory.

The Cyclones (11-8) will be back in action next weekend with a trio of games against Wichita State in Wichita, Kansas.
