Cedar Rapids Prairie dropped out of the Class 4A baseball rankings this week, but the Hawks don't care a whole lot about that.
They know they have the ingredients for a good club this year and they proved it Tuesday night.
Brennan Hammer carried a shutout into the seventh inning and Prairie beat top-ranked Kennedy, 3-1, in a crisp Mississippi Valley Conference game at Prairie.
Two Metro softball teams in search of much-needed victories got them Tuesday night against each other as Prairie and Washington split a Mississippi Valley Conference twinbill at Prairie.
Prairie won the first game, 10-0, in five innings to raise its records to 1-5 in the conference and 2-9 overall.
Washington took the nightcap, 6-5, for its first victory of the season, raising its marks to 1-9 in the Valley and 1-11 overall.
The Kennedy baseball team called on Johnson & Johnson to ease its pain Monday night.
Andrew Johnson delivered a key triple and Zach Johnson collected a gutsy win in relief as the top-ranked Cougars trimmed Prairie, 5-4, on Junior Cougars Night at Kennedy.
Andrew Johnson tied the game, 4-4, with a triple down the right-field line in the bottom of the sixth inning and scored the go-ahead run on a passed ball.
Zach Johnson (not the golfer) wriggled out of a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the top of the seventh inning to give Kennedy (9-1, 4-1) the Mississippi Valley Conference victory.

The Xavier girls soccer team began its remarkable string of six state titles in a row in 2006 when Kayla Armstrong was in the fifth grade.
They don't see any reason to stop now.
Armstrong scored two goals Monday as the top-ranked Saints blanked Prairie, 4-0, in the Class 2A regional finals at Xavier to claim yet another berth at state.
RUNNELLS -- The Cedar Rapids Prairie baseball team split its two games at the Southeast Polk tournament Saturday.
The Hawks clipped Waterloo East, 4-1, in their first game and were blanked by Southeast Polk in their second contest, 11-0, in five innings.

Mitch Peters drove in two runs for the Hawks against Waterloo East. Ty Mougin had two hits.
