The Jefferson J-Hawks could not play on their home field Monday because it was severely damaged in a storm last week and they could not play at Kirkwood because that field was too wet.

Undaunted, the J-Hawks agreed to play their Mississippi Valley Conference doubleheader against Dubuque Senior in Dubuque instead of Cedar Rapids and came home with a pair of satisfying victories.

The resilient J-Hawks swept the twinbill, 5-1 and 1-0.

Lucas Larson went 2-for-4 and drove in three runs in the opener for Jefferson (15-6, 10-4). Spencer VanScoyoc went 3-for-3 with two doubles and a home run. Larson also socked a homer.

Ben Koering pitched a five-hitter for Jefferson in the 5-1 victory, with four strikeouts and no walks.

VanScoyoc and Colton Knox combined on a four-hit shutout in the nightcap. VanScoyoc tossed the first two innings, then Knox relieved and pitched five strong frames.

Marcus Colbert went 2-for-2 for the J-Hawks in the second game and scored the only run. Cam Frazier was 2-for-3.
