After a week off, the Hawkeye Report Podcast returned on Monday evening and with the weather finally starting to break in Iowa City, it's time to talk a little baseball. Rick Heller and the Hawkeyes are off to a very good 9-2 start to the season and we caught up with the Iowa head coach to talk about how the campaign has gone so far. Heller talks about the weather issues they have experienced, the keys to their early success this season, and how the facilities have helped their development.

We want to thank Coach Heller for joining us. Always great to talk Hawkeye baseball with him. Get out and see a game at Banks Field this spring if you can because the team is on the rise. Also thanks to our hosts this evening, Rocky O'Brien's in North Liberty. If you are looking for an Irish Pub for St. Patrick's Day, head on over to Rocky's!
