Home ›Pair of seventh-inning rallies not quite enough as Waukon baseball team wins one of four games during opening week
The Waukon baseball team put together some late-inning rally excitement on a couple occasions in its opening week of four games, but ultimately came away with a 1-3 start to the season. That lone win came in the Tribe’s season opener at Clayton Ridge, 10-0, Monday, May 23 and was followed by the first of those rallies that came up just a bit short in a 5-4 home loss to North Fayette Valley Tuesday, May 24. The Indians wrapped up the week with a home Northeast Iowa Conference doubleheader with Waverly-Shell Rock, having another rally be full denied in game one, a 9-5 defeat in eight innings, before also suffering a 6-1 loss.
The baseball Tribe was next scheduled to play another Northeast Iowa Conference (NEIC) varsity doubleheader at Decorah Tuesday, May 31 before traveling to Sumner-Fredericksburg Thursday, June 2 and playing yet another varsity NEIC doubleheader at Charles City Friday, June 3. The Indians are then scheduled for a full slate of four home dates that include June 6 and 7 varsity doubleheaders with Turkey Valley and Crestwood, respectively, before hosting Union June 8 and another NEIC doubleheader against New Hampton Friday, June 10.
