• In game 2, the J-Hawks faced off against the Bettendorf Bulldogs (7-9). It was a close one throughout as the J-Hawks ended up on top by a score of 6-5.

Saturday, June 15th Highlights:

• In game 3, the J-Hawks took on the Iowa City City High Little Hawks (5-11). The Little Hawks have been a traditionally strong team, so this was a great win for the J-Hawks. The final was 7-0.
