Home ›Kee baseball team gets its 2019 season underway with three consecutive wins in four games, sweeps Decorah in opener
The Kee baseball team has its 2019 campaign off to a 3-1 start following a three-game winning streak to start the season followed by the Hawks’ lone loss thus far. The Purple and Silver opened the season with a sweep of a non-conference road doubleheader at Decorah Wednesday, May 22, 7-6 in eight innings and 8-4, in a date postponed from the night before due to rainy weather. The Kee boys wrapped up their initial week hosting their own Shooky Fink Tournament Saturday, May 25, beginning the day with a 9-1 win over Waukon in former Hawk Shane Schellsmidt’s return to Shooky Fink Field as an opposing coach before Kee’s diamond dwellers were tripped up by fellow Upper Iowa Conference squad, Class 1A eighth-rated South Winneshiek by an 8-0 final result.
The Hawks were next scheduled to host MFL/MarMac for an Upper Iowa Conference (UIC) doubleheader Tuesday, May 28 before hitting the road for a weekend adventure featuring a Friday, May 31 game at AGWSR in Ackley and then playing both Kingsley-Pierson and Newell Fonda at Newell Fonda Saturday, June 1. Kee is then slated to play another UIC double-dip Monday, June 3 at Clayton Ridge before playing both Charles City and St. Ansgar at St. Ansgar Saturday, June 8.
