The Decorah baseball team (16-15) didn’t have any answers for what West Delaware (24-11) threw at them Friday night as the Vikes fell, 11-1, in six frames.
Pushing three runs across the plate in the first on a walk, two Viking errors and a base hit, West Delaware claimed the early lead, 3-0. Decorah scraped one run in the second when Ethan Holthaus was hit by a pitch and Casey Brickley drew a walk. Fisher Tweten drove Holthaus in for the lone Viking run of the game. West Delaware would go on to score again in the third, two in the fourth and fifth and closed out the game on the 10-run rule with three in the sixth.
Shouldering the loss on the hill was Landon Kuennen with Tweten throwing in relief.
Decorah managed just one hit in the game, a single by Kaden Alstad.
The Vikes hosted Waterloo West in the regular season finale Wednesday and opens the postseason at home against Independence Friday, July 7, at 7 p.m. The two teams met on the diamond earlier in the season with the Mustangs coming out on top, 3-2.
