Just a few hours removed from a 5-4 win over Dubuque Senior in the opening game of a doubleheader, the Iowa City High baseball team completed the sweep with a game two victory at Mercer Park on June 11. Backed by a strong performance by senior Parker Sutherland, coupled with a great defensive effort, the Little Hawks earned a 4-2 home win over the Rams and improved to 14-5 on the season. “We’ve had a long week with baseball games,” said City High coach Brian Mitchell.

Marc RayIowa City Press-CitizenWith the ball at her feet five minutes into the match, Iowa City Liberty girls soccer sophomore Morgan Bennett launched a shot that deflected off the hands of the Bettendorf goalkeeper, trickled past the goal line and gave the Lightning an early 1-0 lead. But that lead was erased in the final minute of the game. In desperation mode, the Bulldogs knotted the game, 1-1, with 53 seconds left before they sealed the game with a strike as the game clock hit zero.
