indianola-8

The Indianola baseball team begins their postseason journey tonight, hosting the Bulldogs of Ottumwa in the substate quarterfinal round.

The Indians defeated the Bulldogs in a doubleheader back in May 5-2 and 7-4, and have won six of their final eight regular season games after a three-game skid in June.

Ottumwa comes in nearly the same, winners of five of their last seven contests after their own three-game losing streak in June.

Indianola head coach Jon Fitzpatrick tells KNIA Sports his squad has found more success as the season has gone on and guys have become more accustomed to their roles and used to the situations they are competing in.

The game will be broadcast live on 94.3 KNIA, with Andrew Swadner on the play-by-play. Pregame coverage begins at 6:45, with first pitch scheduled for 7pm.
