The Decorah softball team (11-7, 7-2 NEIC) opened the week with a conference doubleheader split at Waukon (13-11, 5-6 NEIC) Tuesday.
The Indians may have struck first in game one; however, it was the Vikes that scored the most. With Waukon putting up one run in the first, Decorah responded with a pair in the third. The lead was short-lived as the home team pushed two runs across home plate in the fourth. After knotting the score at 3-3 in the sixth, the Viking bats exploded in the seventh for five runs and the 8-3 victory.
Game two was a back-and-forth battle with each NEIC squad putting up three runs in the first. Decorah added one in the third and one in the fourth. Two for the Indians in the fourth, combined with a four-run sixth frame gave the home team a 9-5 advantage. The Vikes managed to scratch two runs home in the top of the seventh, but the comeback ended there as Waukon won, 9-7.
Individual stats were unavailable at press time.
Decorah will be at home the rest of the week with a doubleheader versus Waverly-Shell Rock at home Thursday, June 22, at 5:30 p.m., a JV/varsity twinbill with North Fayette Valley Friday, June 23, at 5:30 p.m., and the annual Viking tournament Saturday, June 24, starting at 9 a.m.
