Iowa Hawkeyes baseball vs. Indiana State: TV, stream, game notes for Sunday

The Iowa Hawkeyes survived a 13-inning thriller over North Carolina, downing the Tar Heels with an RBI triple from junior shortstop Michael Seegers to plate redshirt freshman Coy Sarsfield en route to the 6-5 win.

Now, Iowa gets another chance at No. 14 overall seed Indiana State after a crushing loss Saturday night. Despite sophomore Brody Brecht’s terrific start through seven innings, Iowa couldn’t make a 4-2 lead hold up against the Sycamores in the eighth inning.

Indiana State used an RBI, bases-loaded walk from Mike Sears and then back-to-back doubles from Miguel Rivera and Grant Magill to turn that 4-2 deficit into a 7-4 win.

Iowa is turning to redshirt sophomore Zach Voelker for the start against Indiana State on Sunday. It’ll be the Granite Bay, California, native’s second start in 2023. With a Hawkeye win, the two teams would meet again Monday in a winner-take-all contest to advance to the super regionals.

Last time against Indiana State

Brody Brecht was sensational, but an eighth-inning bullpen implosion prevented Iowa from jumping to a 2-0 mark in the winners’ bracket. Now, the Hawkeyes need a pair of wins to advance.

In Iowa’s 7-4 loss to Indiana State, the Hawkeyes plated a run in the first on  redshirt sophomore Raider Tello’s RBI single. After falling behind 2-1, Seegers tied it, scoring Tello. Finally, Iowa built a two-run lead in the sixth inning behind a redshirt junior Sam Hojnar double to right center and a sacrifice fly from redshirt junior Kyle Huckstorf.
