The IHSAA baseball season is officially upon us.
Baseball sectional tournaments begin this week with opening games scheduled for Wednesday, May 27. Sectionals will run through Monday, June 1, followed by regionals on Saturday, June 6. Semi-states will be played on Saturday, June 13, and the season will culminate in state championship games at Victory Field in Indianapolis on Friday and Saturday, June 19-20.
Last season, Delta, Shenandoah and Wapahani were the three East Central Indiana teams to bring home sectional titles. All three would go on to add regional titles before falling at semi-state — Delta and Shenandoah in the semifinals and Wapahani in the semi-state championship.
