The Kee baseball team had a total of six games scheduled for this past week, but had half of those impacted by weather. The Hawks had a Monday, June 30 Upper Iowa Conference (UIC) doubleheader at MFL/MarMac called off because of stormy weather, and only got through half of a home UIC double-dip with North Fayette Valley Tuesday, July 1 - falling by an 11-1 result in five innings - before having the second game postponed by weather to Saturday, July 5, where the Hawks bounced back with a 5-1 victory. Kee also swept a non-conference doubleheader at Crestwood Thursday, July 3 by scores of 5-0 and 8-5.
Now holding an 18-15 overall record, 7-6 in Upper Iowa Conference (UIC) play, the Hawks were scheduled to wrap up their regular season schedule with one final home doubleheader Monday, July 7 against Edgewood-Colesburg before playing a June 16 make-up game at Postville Thursday, July 10. A non-conference doubleheader at Dubuque Senior High School has also now been added to Kee’s schedule for Wednesday, July 9 in light of a pair of UIC doubleheaders lost to weather recently. Kee will then open postseason tournament play Tuesday, July 15 at Postville against Wapsie Valley.
