The Kee baseball team was one win away from an undefeated week in wrapping up its 2014 regular season. The Hawks posted extremes in recording a sweep of Edgewood-Colesburg at home Monday, July 7, routing the visiting Vikings, 21-0 in four innings, in game one before escaping with a 5-4 victory in the nightcap. The Hawks then traveled to Dubuque Wednesday, July 9 to earn a split of a non-conference doubleheader scheduled just this past week with Dubuque Senior, winning a 3-1 result but also falling by a 12-10 count, before wrapping up their regular season Thursday, July 10 by winning at Postville, 12-0 in five innings, in a game rescheduled from June 16.
Now holding a 22-16 overall record, 10-6 in Upper Iowa Conference (UIC) play, the Hawks were scheduled to open postseason tournament play Tuesday, July 15 at Postville against Wapsie Valley.
