The Indianola baseball team found out their state tournament opponent Thursday afternoon after the coaches seeding meeting, as they were awarded the 7th seed and will face off against #2 Iowa City High in the first round. Indianola head coach Jon Fitzpatrick tells KNIA Sports his squad over the course of these playoffs, the Indians haven’t worried about their opponent and just played the game.

“Go out and just compete for 21 outs. Around 300 pitches is what it’s going to be in one game, and go out and try to lock in and compete for each of those pitches. Each pitch is its own life, and they’ve done a really good job of bending but not breaking and dealing with whatever happens. Being able to flush it away and move on to the next pitch, and growing up right in front of us.”

Indianola will matchup with Iowa City High on Tuesday at 7:30pm at Duane Banks Baseball Stadium in Iowa City, and will be broadcast live on 94.3 KNIA.
