• Colby Wylde's bat, arm powers Hiawatha to 4-inning win over South Beloit (shawlocal.com) — South Beloit’s baseball team fell 19-4 to Hiawatha on Thursday at Northern Illinois University, despite jumping ahead early thanks to Sobo runs off defensive miscues. Hiawatha’s bats and cleaner fielding over the final innings turned the Northeastern Athletic Conference matchup into a rout, just days after the Hawks also edged South Beloit 11-9 on the road.
