April Means Baseball Season in Indiana

On Tuesday night, we’ll know if there are two college basketball National Champions in Indiana (Notre Dame is in the Final Four of the Women’s Tournament and Butler is in the Final Four of the Men’s Tournament) but starting Wednesday, baseball becomes the main attraction in Indiana.

From the Fort Wayne Tin Caps to the Indianapolis Indians to the Evansville Otters and the other teams in between, no one in Indian is more than a couple hours from great minor-league baseball.
