Waukon baseball team starts week with pair of road wins, falls in week’s final three Northeast Iowa Conference games

A strong start to this past week for the Waukon baseball team with wins in its first two games was derailed somewhat with losses in the diamond Tribe’s final three contests of the week. Prior to those results of this most immediate past week, the Indians battled Decorah to a pair of narrow losses at home Saturday, June 7 by scores of 7-5 and 10-9 in games rescheduled from an original June 3 date that was rained out.

The diamond Tribe then opened up this past week with a 7-0 road win at North Fayette Valley Monday, June 9 before splitting a road doubleheader at the home of a New Hampton squad recently ranked among Class 2A’s top-10 teams, securing a 5-1 win in game one before falling by a 9-1 count in the nightcap. The Indians wrapped up their week with another road doubleheader Friday, June 13, falling at Crestwood by scores of 3-1 and 3-0.

Currently holding a 5-8 season record that includes a mark of 3-5 in Northeast Iowa Conference play, the Indians were next scheduled to play at Turkey Valley Monday, June 16, at East Buchanan Tuesday, June 17 and at Kee in a varsity-only contest at 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 18 before playing at Decorah Friday, June 20 and then hosting Riceville Saturday, June 21.
