The Iowa Conference voted in a change in baseball scheduled for the 2007 season. The IIAC will begin a three-game series among conference opponents.
During weekend series, Friday's contests will be one-nine inning game followed by two-seven inning games on Saturday. A midweek contest will be scheduled with two-seven inning games followed later with a midweek nine inning game at opposing team's site.
"In the past you see alot of splits among the league, hopefully this will change and the fans will see alot more pitchers and it should be exciting to watch," commented Dubuque coach Shane Schellsmidt. "The three game series will cut done on the non-conference contests, but it will add excitement into our IIAC Tournament. The No. 1 and No. 2 seeds will get a first-round bye so everyone will be pushing to capture those seeds to rest their pitchers another round."
Conference play will finish (weather permitting) on May 4-5, 2007. The IIAC baseball tournament is scheduled for May 10-13, 2007 at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The IIAC extended their conference tournament at the home of the Cedar Rapids Kernels for another three seasons.
