Smith's homer lifts KCC at nationals

Thu - 16 May Written by Christopher Lay

CLINTON, Miss. - The Kirkwood Community College Eagles earned a hard-fought 3-2 victory over the Illinois Central Cougars in the NJCAA Division II national softball tournament Thursday on the strength of a two-run home run by Lauren Smith.

With the win, the third-ranked Eagles (57-3) remained undefeated and moved into the third round of the winners’ bracket and are now one of only four teams that remain undefeated in the double-elimination tournament.

Kirkwood, riding a 50-game winning streak, will face No.2 Phoenix College Friday at noon in the winners bracket semifinals.

Moore, Hartman double their fun in regional

Thu - 16 May Written by Steve Gravelle

A brand-new pairing will participate in the Class 2A girls state tennis tournament in the persons of Cedar Rapids Washington’s Rina Moore and Lilly Hartman.

Moore and Hartman defeated Linn-Mar’s Mackenzie Luehring and Anna Schlueter, 6-2, 6-2, in the regional finals at the Veterans Memorial Tennis Center Thursday to fly into the state tournament here May 30-31.

The regional tournament was the first sanctioned doubles play for the pair, “but we play together in the summer a lot,” Hartman said after the match.

Kueny's clean sheet propels Hawks past Saints

Thu - 16 May Written by Mike Condon

Curt Lewis knew his Prairie boys soccer team probably wasn't as good as its 8-0 start.

He also knew they weren't as bad as the team that had lost four of five during one stretch.

The Hawks brought a 12-4 record into Thursday night's game against a powerful Xavier team. They bent all match long, but due to the stellar play of senior keeper Adam Kueny, came away with a hard-fought 1-0 win, ruining Senior Night for 13 Xavier 12th graders.

Buxton's slam send Kernels past Bees

Thu - 16 May Written by S.D. Buhr

For the first two hours and 40 minutes of their game with the visiting Burlington Bees Thursday night, the Cedar Rapids Kernels were having one of their worst nights of the season. And then Byron Buxton happened - again.

With his team trailing the Bees 6-3, Buxton came to the plate with the bases loaded and one out in the Kernels half of the ninth inning. The Twins' super-prospect got an inside fastball that he liked and launched another one of his signature high, deep home runs to left field for a walk-off grand slam and a 7-6 Kernels victory.

Through the first 8 1/2 innings of the game, not a lot went right for the Kernels, particularly in the field. Five of Burlington's six runs were unearned, largely due to four Kernels errors spread across just the sixth and seventh innings.
