The Indianola baseball team travels to Urbandale tonight to compete in the substate final game, after taking down Ankeny 8-5 on Monday. The Indians have used stellar pitching performances at the end of the season to get past Ottumwa and Ankeny, and will continue throwing well to match up with a J-Hawks team that is 4th in class 4A in team ERA. Indianola head coach Jon Fitzpatrick tells KNIA Sports the Indians lost to Urbandale earlier in the season, and they will need to wipe that away, play their own game and hold themselves accountable, and take advantage of a chance to go to Iowa City.

“Just compete. Compete, compete, compete. We scored four runs on them and left 10 on in four innings against Urbandale. I thought we competed well with them, so hopefully the two-out hitting magic we had against Ankeny will continue.”

The game can be heard 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.
