IOWA CITY — The University of Iowa softball team shutout Iowa State, 5-0, on Tuesday afternoon at Bob Pearl Field in the finale of the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series.

Junior Jalen Adams (23-5) was lights out in the circle for the Hawkeyes. Throwing her 18th complete game of the season, Adams allowed no runs on two hits and struck out seven Cyclone hitters. Sophomore Jaylee Ojo delivered the big hit for Iowa with a pinch hit grand slam in the sixth inning.

Adams allowed a leadoff infield single to start the game and then a walk in the second inning. After that, she retired 14 straight Iowa State hitters until allowing a two-out single in the seventh.

The Hawkeyes took the lead, 1-0, in the bottom of the third. Senior Tatianna Roman reached on a one-out walk and got herself into scoring position after a single from Jena Young and a passed ball. Roman came home on a sacrifice fly from Tory Bennett to open the scoring.

Offense was at a premium for both teams until Iowa loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the sixth. After the Cyclones recorded the second out, Ojo came to the plate and launched a full count pitch to straight away center field to give Iowa a commanding, 5-0, lead.

Adams closed out the game in the seventh to secure the win for the Hawkeyes.

Iowa finished the game with five runs on five hits. Iowa State had no runs on two hits.
