Waukon baseball team wins one of four in pair of NEIC doubleheaders

The Waukon baseball team worked to snap what had become a 13-game losing streak this past week, picking up a single win in four games played as the regular season begins to wind down. The Indians opened the week suffering a doubleheader road sweep in Northeast Iowa Conference (NEIC) play at Decorah by scores of 3-0 and 11-0 in five innings Tuesday, July 1 before splitting another NEIC doubleheader at Oelwein Thursday, July 3, falling by a 13-3 result in six innings and pulling out an 11-6 victory.
The Indians currently hold a 4-21 record on the season that includes a mark of 2-11 in Northeast Iowa Conference play.
The Indians were also scheduled to play Charles City Monday, June 30 at Riceville in a game already rescheduled from Friday, June 27, but rainy weather once again moved that game, this time to Tuesday, July 15 and back to Charles City. Prior to that regular season-ending make-up game, the baseball Tribe is scheduled to host Class 2A 10th-rated New Hampton Tuesday, July 8 and then Crestwood Friday, July 11 before beginning postseason tournament play in Oelwein Friday, July 18 at a time and against an opponent yet to be released by the Iowa High School Athletic Association.
