Home ›Waukon baseball team plays through winless week, falls to four NEIC foes before battling to a similar fate at its own Jeff Houg Tournament
The Waukon baseball team battled through a week without a win, falling to four Northeast Iowa Conference (NEIC) opponents during weekday competition before suffering that same fate to a non-conference pair in the Tribe’s own weekend home invitational tournament. The Indians opened the week with a 10-0 loss at Waverly-Shell Rock in six innings Monday, June 17 before falling in a NEIC doubleheader at Oelwein Wednesday, June 19 by scores of 11-7 and 8-0. A home NEIC loss to Decorah Friday, 11-0 in five innings, gave way to another two-game sweep at home in the Tribe’s own annual Jeff Houg Tournament, the Waukon boys first falling to Class 1A eighth-rated South Winneshiek by an 11-0 count in five innings before battling to a 15-6 loss to Kee in the tournament finale.
Now holding a 5-21 season record, including a 1-13 mark in Northeast Iowa Conference (NEIC) play, the Indians were next scheduled to host Class 2A fifth-rated New Hampton for a NEIC doubleheader Tuesday, June 25 and then Starmont for just a single varsity game at 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 26 before playing at Postville Thursday, June 27 and at Crestwood Friday, June 28. The baseball Tribe will then play West Delaware Tuesday, July 2 at Mt. Mercy University in Cedar Rapids before playing in the Waterloo Columbus Tournament at Riverfront Stadium in Waterloo Saturday, July 6 and then wrapping up its regular season with a final game at Class 4A Dubuque Senior Tuesday, July 9.
