The Waukon softball team had its season brought to a close in the opening round of Class 3A Regional Tournament play Wednesday, July 5, taking on a familiar foe in fellow Northeast Iowa Conference squad New Hampton. The Indians had fallen to the Chickasaws in all three previous games they played this season, but to varying degrees. Wednesday’s postseason match-up played out to just about all of those same degrees on the way to a 17-5 Indian loss in six innings.
The loss ends the Indians’ season with an overall record of 7-25 that includes a 3-15 mark to end up sixth in the final Northeast Iowa Conference standings. New Hampton went on to fall to seventh-rated Center Point-Urbana Friday, July 7 by a 10-5 final result.
