The 2014 Kee baseball season came to a close this past week, as the Hawks had their postseason tournament journey cut short just two games into District Tournament play. Kee opened its postseason trail with a 7-1 win over Wapsie Valley at Postville Tuesday, July 15 but then had its season ended two days later with a 5-4 loss to the host Pirates of Postville in a nine-inning brawl in the District semifinals.
The Hawks wrapped up their 2014 campaign with an overall record of 23-17, including a mark of 10-6 in Upper Iowa Conference play that placed them fourth overall in the final 10-team standings. Postville went on to also have its season brought to completion in the very next round of the district tournament, losing by a 10-0 result in five innings against Denver in the Class 1A District District 7 championship game Saturday, July 19.
