The 7th seeded Indianola baseball team fell to 2nd seeded Iowa City High in the quarterfinal round of the class 4A state baseball tournament Tuesday in Iowa City 10-5 in five innings heard live on 94.3 KNIA. The Indians threatened in the first with a leadoff single by Kasey Carter, but that would be the only hit until the fifth inning as the Little Hawks put up five runs in the first, two more in the second, and three in the fourth to build their lead.
Carter and Luke Rockhold had the only hits in the game for the Indians. Head coach Jon Fitzpatrick tells KNIA Sports the team had an amazing season, and he credits the senior class for helping to build the program and accomplish another goal of making state.
Indianola graduates a senior class of nine, and finishes with a 26-13 record.
