The South Hamilton Hawks baseball and softball teams returned to action on Monday night, when they traveled to Jefferson take on the Greene County Rams in Heart of Iowa Conference action. South Hamilton baseball entered with a record of 5-9, while South Hamilton softball entered with a record of 2-12.
It was a slow start for the Hawks baseball squad, as they fell behind 3-0, thanks in part to a Brayden Roberts 2-run homer for the Rams. South Hamilton would begin to climb back in the 3rd, plating 2 runs, before taking the lead in the 4th off a Braden Young 2-run home run. The Hawks would score twice in the 5th and 6th and once in the 7th, while holding Greene County to just one run the remainder of the night, en route to a 9-4 win.
South Hamilton softball would get behind the 8-ball from the start, with Greene County putting up 5 runs in the first two innings, before a 5-run 4th inning put the Rams in ten-run territory, as they ended the night after 5 innings with a 10-0 win.
The Hawks return to action on Tuesday night, when they host Saydel at the Mike Penning Athletic Complex in Jewell.
