No talky-talk Iowa City bar and restaurant owners and the University of Iowa police have communication issues. By Ian Murphy Ian-murphy@uiowa.edu
Iowa City bar and restaurant owners say they would like a chance to create a dialogue with one police department’s officers writing citations on patrons who have made a mistake. Some Iowa City bar and restaurant owners said they are upset with the lack of communication between themselves and the University of Iowa police at a forum held last week. “We’ve often said if they have any concerns to get in touch,” said Chuck Green, the assistant vice president for the UI police. Although Iowa City police officers were present at the forum, representatives from UI police were not. Green said the two departments have a working relationship and have collaborated before.

The next, he could be boarding a helicopter, rushing to an emergency situation in eastern Iowa. “Our job with AirCare is multifaceted … we wear multiple hats,” said Doser, a flight nurse with UI AirCare. “You never have the same day twice. You never know what you’re going to end up in the middle of, so there’s a certain level of excitement that comes from that, and you get a certain level of satisfaction from helping people in an emergency situation.” This month marks the 35th year of the AirCare service at the UI and after transporting over 25,000 patients, officials said they expect the program to be even more successful in future years. “What we hope to see from this progress in future years

Iowa City officials have two choices — they can bite the bullet and pay an additional $1 million or scale back on their plans for the new animal shelter. The city were met with unfortunate news when it opened the bids for the animal-center project on March 27. The city received nine bids ranging from $3.65 million to $3.94 million, with the lowest more than 35 percent higher than the city’s estimate of $2.7 million. The Iowa City City Council was scheduled to accept a bid for the project at its April 1 meeting, but the council will instead consider rejecting the bids and rebidding the project at a special meeting today. “I think it’s unfortunate, but you know, it is what it is,” said Kym Leyden, the executive director of the Friends of the Animal Center Foundation. “The nine contractors who bid were very close, [so] clearly that’s what the project is going to cost.” But some officials say the cost can be adjusted. “We’re looking at reducing scope, while at the same time trying to maintain the number of animals,” said Iowa City architectural services coordinator Kumi Morris. “Those scope changes will not affect the animal count and operation.” The main reason for the high bids was the amount of construction taking

(The Daily Iowan/Rachael Westergard) place in Iowa City. This reduced the number of bids, Morris said. “We had nine general contractors bid, but the difficulty is getting subcontractors to bid,” she said. “We weren’t getting competitive bids in that regard.” Morris said there were many areas of the project where only one subcontractor had bid. The size of the project must decrease to meet the city’s estimate, and one thing in particular officials will consider is removing the fence around the facility. Local governments, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the foundation are funding the project. The foundation has pledged $1 million to the project over five years, and it made its first
$200,000 contribution last year. But Leyden said the rebidding will not stop the foundation from helping the city. “We’ll continue to do what we can do fundraising wise,” she said. “We’ve got to get it done by May 2015 or we’ll lose our FEMA funding.” FEMA will reimburse $1.4 million of the project’s cost because of the 2008 flood, which destroyed the old shelter. Morris said the rebidding process will not delay construction of the animal center. “The timeline that we had set previously was more than ample,” she said. “We’re looking to stay on track with the construction date.” City Councilor Jim
Throgmorton said the council will discuss staff recommendations today. “The staff has made recommendations to us, and we’ll elaborate Monday night,” he said. “We’ll have to cut back on it somehow.”

The military and mental health Adam Gromotka adam-gromotka@uiowa.edu
Ivan Lopez opened fire at Fort Hood, Texas, at around 4 p.m. on April 2. Using his private handgun, he killed three soldiers and wounded another 16. While — at the time of this writing — the motive remains unknown, Lopez was undergoing assessment for PTSD, and he had recently vented on Facebook about a number of issues, including the school shooting in Newtown, Conn., criticizing Adam Lanza’s ability to so easily acquire a weapon while suffering from mental instability. It was the second shooting at Fort Hood in four years. At the risk of capitalizing off of tragedy, I pose a question: If members of our armed forces — some of the toughest, most hardened individuals our country produces — can suffer from and act negatively because of mental illness, isn’t it time to remove the stigma surrounding the matter and actively seek to treat those affected? Of course, I mean “toughest” in the sense that — considering the pain, pay, and stress — serving is one of the most difficult jobs to hold. The realization hit me, inappropriately enough, while I was playing a violent video game and discussing the shooting with a friend. As my character was riddled by enemy gunfire and explosives, I realized that handing people guns and sending them to a dangerous place to shoot at and be shot at by other people with guns is one of the cruelest tasks a government could possibly assign. A small sliver of empathy makes it clear. It’s evil. It’s awful. It’s hell. Does our government do
enough for vets and servicemen and servicewomen? Certainly not. The existence of charities that serve to assist members of our armed forces makes that clear. A few weeks ago, I ran a workout with the University’s Tough Mudder Corps, a group that raises money for the Wounded Warrior Project by participating in mud races. The goal is motivating enough. The fact that groups such as the project exist to assist wounded vets helps to restore faith in humanity. But it’s assistance the government, responsible for sending young men and women into the mouth of the beast called “war,” should provide. As more reports file in, and the situation becomes clearer, we’ve learned that Lopez didn’t serve in direct combat, at least not in Iraq. Still, he suffered from anxiety and depression-related issues, and those negative urges — ignited, perhaps, by a refusal to let Lopez fill out temporary leave papers — were enough to push him over the edge … whatever edge he had shaped in his own mind. It makes the situation all the more confusing and all the more concerning. It seems anyone can struggle with mental-health issues. It’s a real sickness. It affects lives in a number of ways. Sometimes it involves a gun. This column is my desperate attempt to draw attention to a number of issues, but they’re all related, and they’re all serious. The United States — proud wielder of one of the world’s strongest military forces — should look after its troops, individuals who fight so others don’t have to. But you don’t have to go to war to suffer. It’s high time we shed the stigma and apathy surrounding the treatment of mental illness. We shouldn’t need an influx of mental health-linked tragedies to understand why.

Ukraine highlights weakness On Wednesday, the University of Iowa Center for Human Rights, based in the College of Law, will host a discussion titled “Ukraine: East and West,” during which experts from the university’s faculty will deliberate on the tumultuous events that have occurred in Ukraine in the past few months, including the revolution that ousted President Viktor Yanukovych and Russia’s invasion and subsequent annexation of the Crimea. In light of this discussion, it is our view that the Ukrainian crisis should be a concern for all members of the UI community. The ongoing tumult in the region is not only emblematic of the petty tyranny of Vladimir Putin’s regime but also highlights the fundamental weaknesses of the European Union and the West more broadly, particularly in terms of energy and foreign policy. It’s clear that the invasion and annexation of another sovereign territory is a violation of international law, specifically the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, a treaty that Russia was a signatory to, which stated that Ukraine’s sovereignty would be respected by Russia in exchange for giving up the nuclear weapons still in Ukraine after the fall of the Soviet Union. However, this is not nearly as important as the motivations behind the invasion. Putin’s dream is to create a “Eurasian Union,” a counterpart to the EU that would be composed of Russia and post-Soviet states such as Belarus and Kazakhstan, with the possibility of Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan also entering the union at some point in the future. The union is essentially Putin’s attempt to create a Russian Empire 2.0, less in the vein of the Soviet Union and more like the Tsarist Russia of the 19th century. With Ukraine, a country with incredibly deep historical and cultural ties to Russia, deciding that it wants to become a part of the West, Putin’s imperial desires were given a massive blow. The
annexation of Crimea, the only region in Ukraine with a majority ethnic Russian population, was a way to both stave off fledgling Western ties being formed by many Eastern Bloc states and an attempt by Putin to save face. As much as this crisis reveals about the motivations and factors driving Russian foreign policy, so, too, does it reveal the flaws of the West’s foreign policy. So far, the sanctions against the Russia made by the EU and the United States have been relatively mild — mostly travel bans on Russian oligarchs and asset freezes on said oligarchs. But truly crippling sanctions, such as cutting off oil trade with Russia, have been tabled by the EU, since most of its member countries are dependent on oil flowing into their countries through Russian pipelines. This is particularly frustrating given the fact that, at its core, Russia is just a petrostate that gets away with moonlighting as a potential superpower because the West simply can’t rid itself of its fossil-fuel addiction. When taking the long view, the Ukrainian crisis becomes an amalgamation of many horrid trends in international affairs. The worldwide dependence on fossil fuels, the resurgence of imperialism, and a lack of respect for territorial sovereignty have combined to create an awful situation on the eastern corner of Europe. The true answer to this crisis, beyond shortterm sanctions or bloviating rhetoric, is to address these structural issues, that continue to plague the world outside of a tiny peninsula in the Black Sea. YOUR TURN Should the U.S. do more to punish Russia for annexing Crimea? Weigh in at dailyiowan.com.
Letters to the editor Volunteer nation In the last few years, our community has been ranked in many publications on many attributes. The ranking that does not get nearly enough attention or celebration is that for the last five years, Iowa City has been ranked in the top-five midsize cities for volunteer rate by the Volunteering in America Report. April 6-12 is National Volunteer Week and a perfect time to celebrate this amazing accomplishment. Every day volunteers are engaged in our schools, in our nonprofits, in our hospitals, in our civic organizations, and they respond to help people in need in times of disaster. Volunteers are the people who make our community great. In the last year, the United Way Volunteer Center mobilized 7,771
volunteers for a total of 84,985 volunteer hours, equivalent to $1.88 million in service to the community. Through workplace volunteer programs, corporate leaders such as P&G and the UI ’s Levitt Center spent part of their regular workdays at 28 different community sites throughout the county. Whatever their “day jobs,” they swung hammers and paint brushes. They organized medical records and canned goods. Large-scale community events, such as FRY Fest and granGABLE, Iowa City Book Festival, One Book Two Book, and Get Moving for Healthy Kids Walk, all depended on the 446 volunteers who came out to make sure the thousands of their neighbors who were participating were safe and enjoying themselves. Then there were the members of the University of Iowa Student Unit-
ed Way who brightened an autumn afternoon of some older folks. Their task was raking, but the visiting was the real treat. And 266 UI student-athletes fanned out across 15 project sites to bring to the whole community the same teamwork and dedication they show on the field, court, or in the pool. Last year, the Emergency Volunteer Center trained 108 volunteers to register, match, and coordinate the large influx of volunteers who respond to a disaster. That community mobilization stood us in good stead in May and June, when 46 center-trained volunteers were mobilized for seven days, worked 105 shifts and 421 hours, and registered 384 community volunteers. The United Way Disaster Call Center mobilized for 10 days, staffed by 38 volunteers.
These are only some of the great things that we have seen volunteers do in the last year. We know that there was much more done by volunteers throughout the community. This week, please take the opportunity to thank a volunteer and when you can, take your turn and volunteer. Philanthropist Marjorie Moore said, “Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy …” As we say at United Way, “Give the gift of you. Give an hour. Give a Saturday. Give your best.” You can join us in building a community of volunteers at http://www. unitedwayjwc.org/VolunteerCenter.

Why leaders make bad decisions Jon Overton jon-overton@uiowa.edu
All people think they’re above average. It’s pleasant to think of ourselves as smart or as good leaders. These are definitely great for our self-esteem, but oh boy, are there some pitfalls that come along with those delusions. Christopher Kelley, a sociology Ph.D. candidate at the University of Iowa who studies leadership and identity, is wrapping up his dissertation. In it, he conducted three studies that together suggest people are less likely to use helpful information when it threatens their identity in an important situation. When people avoid that information, it makes them feel more powerful and more certain that they’re right. But they also become less
likely to get the right answer. “Information is kind of like an outside agent,” Kelley said. “It’s like an expert telling you you’re wrong and nobody wants that.” An identity is how you think you’re supposed to act in a role, but we have a lot of roles. The self-concept is made up traits that remain constant across situations. Another way to think about the self-concept is how Kelley put it: “a useful fiction.” “You imagine that you’re the same person from situation to situation, but really, who you are in that situation is really dictated by the situation,” he said. That’s not to say the self-concept is irrelevant. It helps us plan and figure out what we’re supposed to do, so it’s handy, but it is real in the sense that is has consequences in everyday life, like when your self-concept is threatened. If you want to do something and other people are
telling you that you’re wrong, you’re not going to want to hear it because it casts doubt on who you think you are or how you think the world works. “People want to do what they want to do, and useful information that could help them make a better decision towards their goal could limit their opportunity to do that,” Kelley said. Using surveys, Kelley devised an inventory of terms that could measure a person’s leadership identity. Then he paid participants to come into a lab and answer questions about what they’d do in certain situations as leaders. They had three options in each scenario. In one condition, participants were told that this was a test of their leadership abilities. The other condition posed no threat to individuals’ leadership identity. The third study added additional pro and con information for each option in the leadership scenarios.
Although people with leadership identities in the higher stress condition tended to avoid helpful information, there’s still at least some good news in all of this. Across both conditions, seniors were significantly more likely than freshmen to look at information, which, by the way, correlated with answering correctly in the experiment. That does suggest that maybe, just maybe, college works. However, Kelley was quick to point out that avoiding information that threatens one’s self-concept is a huge problem, especially for college graduates and all kinds of experts, though he has advice on how to avoid this pitfall of human nature. “To know anything is to first admit you know nothing,” he said. “And if you can first admit you know nothing, going into any situation, you’re much more likely to learn, and much more likely to get the right answer.”

Hawkeye tracksters flash some talent Several Iowa tracksters turned in championships and personal records in California and Arkansas. By Katrina Do and Jordan Hansen daily-iowan@uiowa.edu
The Iowa track and field team split up for two meets this past weekend in Fayetteville, Ark., and Stanford, Calif., for the Arkansas Spring Invitational and the Stanford Invitational. Team scores were not kept at either meet, but the Hawkeyes performed well at both events. Day One of the Arkansas Spring Invitational featured a strong showing by the women’s hammer throwers. Junior Annemie Smith and seniors Jasmine Simpson and Ashlyn Gulvas finished first, second, and third. Smith set the hammer throw school record two weeks ago at the Arizona State season-opener. The junior had another impressive performance last weekend in Fayetteville and led the hammer throws from start to finish; she recorded the six best marks of the competition. The men’s shot putters also placed well, with junior Gabe Hull finishing third, freshman Avery Meyers finishing fifth, and senior Drew Clark sixth. Hull also competed in the discus, finishing second with a throw of 58.89 me-
ters in the finals. The Hawkeyes also finished well in the women’s discus, with sophomore Dakotah Goodell hitting a 46.76-meter throw on her first attempt, which ended up being the winner. The relay teams took the spotlight on the second day of the meet, winning two events. The 4x400-meter relay team of freshmen Elexis Guster and Alexis Hernandez and sophomores MonTayla Holder and Lake Kwaza broke the school record by more than one second. For the men, the 4x400 also finished well. The group — made up of juniors Kaleb VanCleave and Brennan Davey, sophomore Will Teubel,and freshman Jared Ganschow — finished in third with a time of 3:15.33. “Speed and power continue to shine as sprints and throws led the Hawkeyes once again,” head coach Layne Anderson said in a release. “We certainly have areas to work on, but we have seen a lot of positives, and that’s what we need to build from.” Three of the same women from the 4x400 — Guster, Holder, and Kwaza, along with freshman Brittany Brown — made up the 4x100 relay team.
They finished the relay just .02 seconds behind the school record and beat the second-placed Arkansas team by .03 seconds. The men’s 4x400 finished fourth with a time of 40.37, which trailed Arkansas, the third-place finisher, by .4 second. “We got one school record, and nearly broke another, so it was great to see that consistency,” Anderson said in a release. “What’s important now is that we continue to build.” Despite not having their two top triple-jumpers, the Black and Gold still finished third in the event as Kerry Dean Jr. jumped 14.21 meters to finish strong for the team. At Stanford, five distance runners competed in the invitational — juniors Kevin Lewis, Shannon Maser, and Rachel Price as well as freshman Kevin Docherty all set personal bests in their events. Junior Ben Witt was the only Hawkeye not to set a personal record but nevertheless finished eighth in his heat. Lewis, Maser, Price, and Witt all competed in the 1,500, while Kevin Docherty raced in the 5,000. All the athletes finished in the top 15 of their respective heats, with Lewis finishing ninth.

recap Continued from 8 work, Shulista gave up 2 earned runs. The Hawkeyes then turned to relief pitcher Matt Allen, who provided the first sign of consistency for the Hawkeyes. “Matt Allen stepped up today, and he saved us,” Heller said. “What an unbelievable performance, giving us that many innings.” Allen was able to give Heller 6.2 innings of work. He allowed 4 runs, 2 of which Heller took the blame for by leaving him in too long. But most importantly for Iowa, Allen was able to take the mound inning after inning, an aspect that’s particularly important for an Iowa team that will have to exhaust all their pitching with three more games in the next three days. “My two-seam was working real well,” Allen said. “I
feature Continued from 8 “He had a couple hits and battled hard. He blocked the plate well even though he hasn’t seen a ton of time this season.” It was just his seventh appearance of the season and only his second start. “I think he showed everyone that he’s good enough to be a starting catcher today,” Iowa pitcher Matt Allen said. “He’s always been a good catcher, and he’s always done well, and obviously, we have Blake [Hickman], so we don’t see him as much, but today he showed that he could really help us out.” And while his second at-bat of the game went
softball Continued from 8 “Pitchers need to limit walks,” Looper said. “There were a couple that probably weren’t bad walks, but then we didn’t take care of the ball after that. When you put on 12 runners for free, it’s hard to win ball games that way.” The walks might have been a result of trying to contain Northwestern’s high-powered offense. The Hawks held Northwestern to 7 hits or fewer in all three games. Things got off to a shaky start on Sunday. Iowa began the game giving up a run in the top of the first inning, and all the attention on the other team’s offense may have led to the Hawkeyes forgetting about their own. The Hawks finally
tennis Continued from 8 wa viable for the doubles point. The doubles point was determined at the No. 3 position, featuring Iowa seniors Chase Tomlins and Joey White. The pair ultimately dropped their match in an 8-7 (73) decision to Chris Essick and Stefan Lugonjic of Indiana. The duo from Indiana rallied from a three-game deficit to secure the doubles point. “They definitely stepped up their game,” Tomlins said. “They played a lot more loose early on and missed a lot of volleys, and toward the end, they made pretty much every volley and return, which just put a lot of pressure on us to make plays, and we didn’t.” The Hawkeyes rebounded slightly, tying
THE DAILY IOWAN was jamming them in-andout … my change-up was dropping; everything was working really well for me.” The Hawks did give fans a sign of a rally in the third inning, when they posted 3 runs on Indiana starting pitcher Christian Morris, but they were shut down by his replacement, righthander Luke Harrison. Harrison filled in for the Hoosiers and provided 4.2 innings of scoreless baseball, striking out 7 Hawkeyes in the process. Only two Hawkeyes reached base during Harrison’s time on the mound. “We’ve been running into our share of bad luck,” Heller said. “We’re not the type of team that hits the ball out of the ballpark. We have to string hits together, and make things happen, and do things on the base paths. “And when you fall behind by 8 runs, it’s tough. You can’t really play our game.”
just about as well as he could have hoped, his début behind the plate was even better. After giving up 5 runs in the first inning, Iowa-starting pitcher Sasha Keubel was yanked after retiring only a single batter. And while right-hander Brandon Shulista didn’t fare much better in his relief, Frankos stepped up to pick up the slack as best he could. With an Indiana runner on first and breaking fast toward second, Frankos corralled a Shulista fastball before popping up to gun down the base runner before he could advance into scoring position. An inning later, Frankos made Indiana pay again for its lazy base running, picking off a runner at third on a fielder’s choice.

“We thought he got the guy out, but they called him safe on the play before, so it was great to see him pop up and get the next guy,” Heller said. “He really threw the ball well, so I couldn’t have been any happier with how Jimmy played.” A trial by fire if there ever was one, Frankos was a stalwart defensive presence all game, even while he watched as the Hoosiers continued to shell the seemingly endless cycle of Iowa relievers. Nevertheless, Frankos kept his pitchers calm all game, guiding them up until the very end. “You just got to go out there and hit your spots,” Frankos said. “Do whatever you need to do to calm them down.”

found their bats in the fifth inning when Erin Erickson grabbed the team’s first hit with a single to left field. That started a rally and eventually sparked the offense for the walk-off win. “My last couple games, I’ve been struggling to get on, and all I wanted
to do was put the ball in play,” she said. “I’m happy I came through for the team. We kind of kept pecking away, and it worked for us in the end and [the walk-off] was great. Those don’t really happen too often, and we’ll take it any way we can.”
the Hoosiers 3-3 in singles play. Iowa was off to a rough start with seniors Brian Alden and Juan Estenssoro dropping the first two matches (6-4, 6-3) and (6-0, 6-4) at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions. The Hawkeyes received wins from senior Michael Swank (2-6, 6-0, 6-3) at No. 6, sophomore Dominic Patrick (7-6 [7-3], 4-6, 1-0 (10-7) at the No. 5 spot, and senior Jonas Dierckx, who finished the meet strong with a 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (7-4) win over Sven Lalic of Indiana at the No. 1 position. “I was particularly happy for Jonas, who essentially was a double winner on both singles and doubles,” head coach Steve Houghton said. “And that guy, from a pure attitude standpoint, deserves to beat a really good Big Ten player.” “It was tough battle,” Dierckx said. “The guy
had a similar game to mine, so we had a lot of long rallies. What really helped me was getting off to a good start in the beginning of the match and to win the first set. In the second set, it was a lot tougher, since he barely made mistakes and put a lot of pressure on me.” Cloud cover crept over the sunny skies and the match of Dierckx and Lalic — nearing the threehour mark at this point — was postponed at the start of the third set and moved indoors because rain. “It was difficult to adjust from outdoors to indoors since the match was so close,” Dierckx said. “But I’m glad I was able to get used to it quickly and close it out in the tiebreaker. My wins in doubles and singles will give me a lot of confidence going into Wednesday’s match against Nebraska.”

Logic named All-American Iowa women’s basketball junior point guard Samantha Logic has been named an honorable mention All-American by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association. Logic, who was named an honorable mention All-American by the Associated Press last week, is the first Hawkeye to earn the All-American honors since Kachine Alexander did it in 2010 and 2011. The Racine, Wis., native was a unanimous first-team All-Big Ten selection after leading the conference in assists and guiding the Hawkeyes to a berth in their seventh-straight NCAA Tournament. Her 269 assists were a program record and the fourth-best season assist total in Big Ten history. — by Joshua Bolander

Women’s tennis falls on the road The women’s tennis team failed to come out on top in a grueling road match against No. 37 Purdue on April 5 at the Schwartz Tennis Center, 4-2. The Hawkeyes have now lost six straight, with five of those loses coming to conference opponents. Iowa’s record is now 8-9, 1-5 in the Big Ten. The shining beacon for the Hawkeyes continues to come from the doubles play of Morven McCulloch and Ruth Seaborne, who posted an 8-6 win at the No. 1 doubles spot. The two are undefeated in Big Ten play with a record of 5-0. They also boast an overall record of 12-2 and have won eight straight. Shelby Talcott came out victorious with a win at the No. 3 singles (6-1, 6-2). Seaborne was also victorious in her singles match (6-4, 6-3). The Hawkeyes have been struggling to get back on track and now sit 10th in the Big Ten. Purdue improved to 9-7 on the season, 5-2 in the Big Ten. — by Alec Clasen

Iowa sophomore catcher Jimmy Frankos shone in his replacement of Trevor Kenyon.
By Jacob Sheyko jacob-sheyko@uiowa.edu
It was evident that the Hawkeyes were in trouble in the opening at-bats of Iowa baseball’s 14-3 loss to Indiana. Hawkeye starting pitcher Sasha Kuebel, typically good to at least eat up innings in each of his outings, pitched just one-third of an inning before being yanked by head coach Rick Heller. “It was crazy — everything they hit found a hole. You just don’t see that very often,” Heller said. “It was bad to fall behind like that to these guys. [Kuebel] didn’t walk the house, we didn’t throw the ball around, they just beat us.”
Kuebel’s day consisted of merely 21 pitches. And because of Indiana’s bats, he was knocked around as bad as he’s been all season. The first four Indiana batters to step up to the plate reached on either a single or a double. “We talked this whole week, you leave the ball up, they are going to hit you,” catcher Jimmy Frankos said. “That’s one of the best hitting teams in the country. We left it up a couple of times, and they made us pay.” In relief for Kuebel was Brandon Shulista, but like Kuebel, Shulista struggled to keep the Indiana bats at bay.

Jimmy Frankos watched the ball come out of Indiana pitcher Christian Morris’ hand, a high fastball, up and inside. He laid off, strike one. Relaxing in the batters box, he held off again as he watched two-straight pitches sail wide of the strike zone. After taking a questionable second strike, the count sat at 2-2. He didn’t hesitate. Swinging away, Frankos connected with the fifth pitch of his atbat, driving a hard single over the third-basemen’s head and into the gap in left field. It was the first hit of the season for the Park Ridge, Ill.,
native in only his fifth plate appearance of the year for the Black and Gold. “It was good to get out there and get my second start of the season,” Frankos said. “Didn’t hit the ball as hard as I would have liked to, but it’s good to be out there and help the team any way I can.” Needing a replacement after normal starter Trevor Kenyon injured his knee sliding into third base the night before, head coach Rick Heller decided to forgo experience, instead choosing to go with Frankos behind the dish. “I thought he did an unbelievable job today,” Heller said.
