Waukon baseball team adds one more game to the win column in four tries
Waukon baseball junior catcher Landon Sivesind looks to apply the tag to this sliding Charles City baserunner in the Indians’ 9-0 first-game loss of a doubleheader split with the Comets at home Tuesday, June 10. Sivesind took a throw from center fielder and fellow junior Jake Ronan in time to put the tag on the orbiting Comet in the fourth inning, denying what would have been the 10th Charles City run of the ballgame and a possible mercy-rule ending to the contest an inning later.
