The Waukon baseball team played five games this past week, opening up its Northeast Iowa Conference (NEIC) season by putting two of those games in the win column. The week was supposed to begin with a Tuesday, June 3 home doubleheader against Decorah, but rain postponed that match-up to Saturday, June 7, when the diamond Tribe played the Vikings to narrow losses of just 5-3 and 10-9, with details of those two Saturday games being printed in the June 18 edition of The Standard. Prior to that make-up date, the Indians fell at home to Kee Wednesday, June 4 by a 7-1 result, and then opened their NEIC season with a home doubleheader sweep of Charles City Friday, June 6 by scores of 10-0 and 2-0.
Holding a 3-5 season record that includes an even mark of 2-2 in Northeast Iowa Conference play, the Indians were next scheduled to play at North Fayette Valley Monday, June 9, at New Hampton Tuesday, June 10 and at Crestwood Friday, June 13. They will then play at Turkey Valley Monday, June 16 at East Buchanan Tuesday, June 17 and at Kee Wednesday, June 18 before playing at Decorah Friday, June 20 and then hosting Riceville Saturday, June 21.
