Waterloo Climber Fans Challenge in Dubuque Loss
Waterloo's cellar-diggers traveled to Dubuque last night and clashed with the Climbers, losing 4 to 3 in a game marked by a disputed seventh inning call by umpire DeWeese. The Hawks, led by McEwan and Perdirtz, staged a late push but were thwarted as Dubuque edged ahead with a key extra-base hit and strong relief pitching. The upcoming doubleheader shifts the spotlight to the Climbers versus Waterloo, with Armstrong likely starting today and Oster or Lindner expected tomorrow.
