Committee Sends Indiana State to Lexington; Evansville to Greenville for Regionals
State Goes from Projected Host to 2-seed in #2 National Seed Regional “Life is about growth. People are not perfect when they’re 21 years old.” – Bill Walton (RIP, Big Red). The now late, great Bill Walton was right, you know. No one at a young age is perfect. Not even high-level college baseball players. Continue reading

TCU 1 Win Away from Omaha After Downing Sycamores, 4-1
In reality, the Indiana State Sycamores played really well in today’s 4-1 loss to TCU in Fort Worth, in the first game of the Terre Haute/Fort Worth Super Regional best-of-3. Unfortunately, “really well,” isn’t going to be good enough to beat this TCU team, one that’s now 18-2 in its last 20 games and which Continue reading

Sycamores at Super Regionals – The Challenge Ahead: TCU’s Pitching Staff
Indiana State’s level of success in the Terre Haute Super Regional at Forth Worth may very well depend on how much damage the Sycamores offense can do to TCU’s starting pitching, before the Horned Frogs bullpen takes over. The numbers for TCU’s starters certainly aren’t eye-popping, but given how crazy their offense has been lately, Continue reading

Super Sycamores Sweep Terre Haute Regional
Indiana State didn’t need a big 8th-inning comeback this time. No, by the time the 8th inning rolled around of Sunday’s Terre Haute Regional final, the Sycamores had already worked their magic to take an 11-8 lead, and Simon Gregersen made it stand up over the final 3 1/3 innings to get the save, as Continue reading

The win, combined with Continue reading

Magill Magic Sends Sycamores Past Wright State
Three on. Two out. A 1-2 count on Grant Magill. His Indiana State Sycamores trailing upset-minded Wright State, 5-4, in the 8th inning of an NCAA Regional in your home ballpark. Not many situations to produce a big hit that a hitter might dream of which would be better. But Magill doesn’t need to dream. Continue reading

Horvath Brings Power, Speed to Carolina Attack
You’ve seen his name in these pages before. North Carolina’s Mac Horvath has been mentioned here often for his prowess both hitting the ball a long way, and running real fast when he gets on base in some other manner. Horvath, a 6-foot-1 junior from Rochester, Minn., was the first player in Division 1 this Continue reading

Is This Iowa’s Time?
Throughout the college sports year, one thing that seemingly comes to life no matter the season is that the Iowa Hawkeyes are on the brink. They sometimes are very good in football, but not quite good enough to break through at a CFP level. Iowa men’s basketball has had some very good teams and some Continue reading

Wright Place at the Wright Time – Wright State’s Run to Regionals
When Indiana State stares across the diamond on Friday and sees the 4th seed in the Terre Haute Regional and its first opponent, the Wright State Raiders, they might feel as if they’re looking in a mirror in terms of the road each team took to get here. Like the Sycamores, Wright State got off Continue reading

Sycamores Draw #14 National Seed, Some Ire, and 3 Tough Opponents
One of the major questions leading into Sunday night’s announcement of the 16 Regional hosts for the upcoming NCAA Baseball Tournament was whether or not Indiana State would be among them. It turned out the Sycamores were, meaning Terre Haute would host a Regional for the first time. What was projected and perhaps assumed was Continue reading
