The Waukon softball team wrapped up its regular season schedule this past week, getting the week off to a strong start with a doubleheader sweep before having that favor returned two-fold, all six of its games this past week coming in Northeast Iowa Conference play. The Indians began the week with home mercy-rule victories of 14-3 in six innings and 12-2 in five innings over Oelwein Monday, June 26 in a twinbill rescheduled from June 22. The softball Tribe had that fortune reversed in its final two regular season dates, being swept in a doubleheader at New Hampton by scores of 8-7 and 10-0 in five innings Tuesday, June 27 and suffering a similar fate at home against Crestwood by final results of 11-1 and 8-0 Thursday, June 29.
Finishing the regular season with an overall record of 7-24 that includes a 3-15 mark to end up sixth in the final Northeast Iowa Conference standings ahead of the Oelwein team they just defeated, the Indians are scheduled to open postseason tournament play Wednesday, July 5 at New Hampton, beginning at 7 p.m. Further details of the Tribe’s postseason road appear in a shaded box on this same page in the print edition and e-edition of The Standard.
