EPWORTH, Iowa (KCRG) - An eastern Iowa high school’s baseball team saw its season abruptly put on hold on Wednesday night due to concerns about the novel coronavirus.

In a post on its Twitter account, the Western Dubuque baseball team said that it was required to shut down during the third inning in a game at Cedar Rapids Washington High School due to COVID-19. The post said that the team was awaiting test results after potential exposure.

The Bobcats led the game 6-1.
