The Kee baseball team had a busy week stopped short of being even busier when the two-game Cedar River Classic the Hawks were scheduled to play in at St. Ansgar Saturday, June 8 was canceled due to wet conditions. The five games the Kee boys did play over the course of the first four days of the week all ended up in the win column, improving their season record to 14-3, including a 6-1 mark in Upper Iowa Conference (UIC) play.
The Hawks swept a doubleheader at Clayton Ridge with wins of 7-0 and 12-6 Monday, June 3 before recording an 11-0 win in six innings at North Fayette Valley Tuesday, June 4. They then shut out Nashua-Plainfield by a 7-0 count at home Wednesday, June 5 before battling MFL/MarMac to a 1-0 triumph at home Thursday, June 6 to wrap up their undefeated but abbreviated week.
The Hawks are next scheduled to host Turkey Valley Monday, June 10, play Postville Thursday, June 13 and take on Moravia in a varsity matinee doubleheader Saturday, June 15 at Mount Mercy College in Cedar Rapids. They will then prepare for a big week in UIC play as they will play road doubleheaders at league front-runners on back-to-back nights, traveling to MFL/MarMac Monday, June 17 and then South Winneshiek Tuesday, June 18 before hosting Clayton Ridge Thursday, June 20 and then playing in the South Winneshiek Tournament Saturday, June 22.
