SEMISTATE SATURDAY SET FOR HARD-BALL HEROICS ACROSS THE STATE
Indiana’s path to the baseball state finals narrows this Saturday as Semistate matchups get underway across Classes 3A and 4A—featuring local juggernauts ready to swing for a state berth.
At Pioneer Field in Mooresville, Class 4A hosts a star-studded set:
-
Evansville North vs. North Central (Indianapolis) kicks off the morning doubleheader at 11 a.m.
-
At 2 p.m., the Franklin Community Grizzly Cubs square off with the Center Grove Trojans in a battle of Johnson County dominance.
-
The two winners collide at 7 p.m. for the right to advance to Victory Field.
Meanwhile, Ruxer Field in Jasper hosts the 3A Semistate:
-
Guerin Catholic vs. New Palestine starts the day at 11 a.m.
-
Then it’s a southern slugfest at 2 p.m. as Greensburg takes on perennial powerhouse Jasper.
-
The championship tilt closes the night at 7 p.m.
It’s win-or-go-home drama for all eight teams as every strikeout, sacrifice bunt, and clutch RBI could punch a ticket to the state finals. And in typical Hoosier fashion, you can bet on electric crowds, legendary moments, and that distinct sound of a well-timed barrel cracking through the June air.
