Due to severe rain, Monday night’s Little Hawkeye Conference softball game between Indianola and Newton was postponed until Monday, June 30. With the Indians ahead 13–6 in the fourth inning, the game was suspended. It will start again in Newton at 3 p.m. on Monday. Rain on Monday also caused the Indianola vs. Newton baseball game to be curtailed short. Five innings had been played when it was stopped in the top of the sixth inning, making it an official game. 2-1, the Indians prevailed.
The weather also forced the cancellation of Newton’s softball and baseball games at Clarke on Tuesday. The softball game will not be made up, but the baseball game will be on Monday, July 7.
