Hawks Fall to AC; Even League Mark at 1-1

OPEN SEASON WITH NO-HITTER AND 4-GAME WIN STREAK

After putting a four-game win streak together, East Greene has dropped two straight in baseball action to move its season record to 4-2.

The Hawks fell to Adair-Casey, 12-7, in Adair on Monday night, June 6, to even their Rolling Hills Conference record at 1-1. EG had won its league opener last Thursday, June 2, over CAM in Anita, 9-5.

The CAM win was the fourth straight, but the Hawks fell to Madrid in Rippey the following night, 12-10, for their first loss of the season.

EG opened the season in a big way with a 10-0 win over Grandview Park Baptist in Des Moines behind the no-hit pitching of Wes Onken. The game ended after six innings because of the 10-run rule. EG then beat Guthrie Center, 3-1, in its home opener on May 31, followed by a road win at Northeast Hamilton (Blairsburg), 3-1, the following night.

The Hawks will look to get back on the winning track tonight in Rippey against Elk Horn-Kimballton/Exira. EG takes on league-leading Iowa Christian/Ankeny Christian Thursday night in Rippey.
