CEDAR FALLS — Each year when the UNI Adapted Sports Camp is held on the Cedar Falls campus, it provides something no other summer camp in Iowa can.

Video: Buxton’s walk-off GS gives Kernels 7-6 win

Top prospect's sixth homer of the season gives Cedar Rapids series win

CEDAR RAPIDS – His first grand slam, his first walk-off hit, his first postgame shaving cream pie. Yet another step out the door here in Cedar Rapids and toward Fort Myers. Honestly, there’s probably not much more Byron Buxton can do at the low-Class A level. The 19-year-old phenom sent Veterans Memorial Stadium into a tizzy [...]

Buxton’s blasts keep peppering neighboring house

Kernels win 9th straight, 5-4, over Lansing

CEDAR RAPIDS – There is nothing about 354 12th St. SW that seems out of the ordinary. It’s a nice little white house inhabited by pair of brothers. It also just happens to sit a sometimes uncomfortable distance beyond the left-field fence at Veterans Memorial Stadium and has become a favorite target for Cedar Rapids Kernels outfielder Byron Buxton. The [...]

Twins farm director gets an eyeful of Buxton

Kernels outfielder goes 3-for-5 with home run and 5 RBIs in 16-7 win over Great Lakes

CEDAR RAPIDS – Brad Steil was one cold man Thursday night, sitting in the elements at Veterans Memorial Stadium for a laborious three-hour and 20-minute baseball game. But the Minnesota Twins farm director was surely one happy man, too. Watching Byron Buxton do his considerable thing had to make him that way. “He has a lot of talent,” Steil [...]

He also has taken care of the ball, allowing just 1.8 turnovers in 34.5 minutes a game. Although he’s got the size (6-foot-7) [...]

Newest hires find Iowa in a state of 4-8

Kennedy, Reid know it's a fixer upper, but see willing combatants

IOWA CITY — There is no spinning Iowa’s 4-8 from the 2012 season. It was top-to-bottom bad. Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz threw his hands up in the air and said as much in a postseason press conference.
