The Kee baseball team played a fairly light schedule this past week, turning out an even 2-2 result in four games. That evenly-split foursome included an equally split home debut on the renovated Shooky Fink Field in New Albin against Turkey Valley Thursday, June 26, Kee falling in game one by a 7-3 result before bouncing back for a 3-0 nightcap victory behind a no-hit pitching effort tossed by senior Jared Donahue. Kee then took part in the annual Jeff Houg Memorial Baseball Tournament in Waukon Saturday, June 28, finishing third after falling to eventual tournament runner-up Waterloo Columbus by a 19-8 count before securing a consolation victory over Waukon, 11-1 in five innings.
Now holding a 15-14 overall record, 6-5 in Upper Iowa Conference play, the Hawks were scheduled to play a pair of back-to-back varsity doubleheaders to begin this week, playing at MFL/MarMac Monday, June 30 and then hosting North Fayette Valley Tuesday, July 1 before playing at Crestwood for a non-conference doubleheader Thursday, July 3. Kee will then wrap up its 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.
