2019 State Finals
This year's state finals enjoyed great attendance.
Combined with the 4A Friday night crowd of 2,782,
Saturday drew 6,664. Thus, totaling 9,446 for the
weekend.
In 1A, University returned to Victory Field and were led by a state-record performance by senior pitcher Reese Sharp. The Trailblazers came away with a 4-1 victory over Washington Twp. Sharp pitched the complete game, allowing just four hits and striking out a state-record 17 batters. The title for coach Chris Estep’s squad is the first in school history, while Washington Township was playing in its first-ever state championship game in any sport. Coach Randy Roberts’s Senators finish the season at 23-7. Nate Shatkowski of University High School was announced the winner of this year’s L.V. Phillips Mental Attitude Award in Class A Baseball.
In 2A, Alexandria Monroe scored 2 in the bottom of the 7th to come away with a miraculous, 4-3 victory over Southridge in the Class 2A championship game. Southridge made a return appearance after falling in the 2A title game in 2018. The victory gives coach Jeff Closser’s Tigers (29-6) their first state title since winning the first 2A championship in 1998. Southridge (22-9) took a 1-0 lead in the opening inning and two more in the fourth. The Tigers broke through in the sixth inning with 2 one-out singles to pull the Tigers within 3-2. Joe La-Grange of Southridge High School was the winner of this year’s L.V. Phillips Mental Attitude Award in Class 2A Baseball.
In 3A, Andrean junior Mason Sannito singled in pinch runner Robbie Ballentine in the bottom of the seventh inning to give the 59ers a 2-1 victory over Edgewood in the Class 3A championship game. The 59ers won their seventh state title, second straight 3A championship, and four in the last six years. The victory gave long-time coach Dave Pish-kur his seventh state title tying him with the late Ken Schreiber of LaPorte and Lafayette Central Catho-lic’s Tim Bordenet for the most in IHSAA history. Earlier this season, Pishkur passed Schreiber as the all-time winningest coach in state history (1,014 wins). Andrean finishes the season at 36-1, winning its final 35 games. The dramatic ending to the only finals matchup of the No. 1- and No. 2-ranked teams came after a classic pitcher’s duel featuring Edge-wood’s Luke Hayden and Andrean’s Michael Doolin. Edgewood coach Bob Jones was leading the Mus-tangs into the state final for the first time in his 34-year tenure. Michael Doolin of Andrean High School was the winner of this year’s L.V. Phillips Mental Attitude Award in Class 3A Baseball.
In 4A, Hamilton Southeastern came away with a 3-2 victory over Columbus East. The Royals scored an unearned run in the bottom of the 7th to come away victorious. The Royals of coach Jeremy Sassanella captured the state title in their first appearance and finished the season on an 11-game winning streak. Hamilton Southeastern (23-8) took a 1-0 lead in the opening inning. The Olympians tied it in the third. The Royals came back in the bottom of the third with another RBI single. Columbus East re-tied the game in the fifth. Coach Jon Gratz’s Olympians saw a 12-game winning streak snapped and fin-ished 25-5. Julian Greenwell of Columbus East was named the L.V. Phillips Mental Attitude Award in Class 4A Baseball.

FUTURES GAMES UPDATE
Thank you to Phil McIntyre and the
IHSBCA Executive Council who ran
this event with great efficiency.
The format allowed a lot of time
for the 70+ juniors/sophomores on
hand to demonstrate their abili-
ties for the 17 college coaches
from across the Midwest and 1
scout who were in attendance. The
showcase was held at Madison HS
prior to the North/South Series.
Thank you to the Madison HS staff
for their work in getting the fa-
cility ready for this annual
event. We adjusted the past for-
mat (pro-style workout) and added
2 games by splitting the players
into 4 teams. This was well re-
ceived by the college coaches in
attendance. Many thanks also go
out to BSN Sports who sponsored
the showcase T-shirts.

Executive Director Update
The first line(s) of this update belongs to the Madison HS baseball coaching staff and Madison Consolidated School Corporation for their out-
standing job of hosting the 2019 North-South All-Star Series! Tim Armstrong and his staff put on an amazing show and fought the weather
during the whole process….they were relentless, selfless, and spared no expense to afford the players the opportunity to perform on beautiful
Gary O’Neal field. If you have not seen the Madison HS facility lately, it is a must see! Mike Modisett is constantly grooming and maintain-
ing it to a very high level and the new scoreboard, windscreens, and other amenities make it a perfect venue for a town that loves their base-
ball!
Kudos also to Kyle Schmack of South Central (Union Mills HS) who won the MVP award for the series. It was a Yankees – Red Sox offen-
sive performance that impressed everyone in the house!
We have a very important fall season coming for the IHSBCA and the IHSAA. We submit proposals and we need to address arm care, length
of season, and number of games, along with some other topics. Your district rep will be in constant contact with you about surveys that need to
be taken and support that needs to be garnered through your principal and AD. We need you to be involved now more than ever.
One of the things that I want to put on everyone’s radar, and I very much welcome your input in regards to it, is our Executive Council. Since
I took this role over in 2012, I/we have delegated many duties and your council performs a collective effort in order to handle all aspects of the
IHSBCA. I could name names, but the main point is multiple people make this work at the level that it does. We are a grass roots organiza-
tion and do all of our own work and that work is done by volunteer force(s), including: council, district reps, committee members, etc. The
one constant factor is the organization / planning and that is where I want to put something on your radar.
I would like your thoughts, as the membership, about the pros and cons of having a council that does not continually roll over every year and
remains a little more consistency. Each year we elect a new VP from a ‘quad’ and that person serves for four years and can be re-elected or
rotates off the council. We train our people to serve and have roles; sometimes that takes time, and once they are up and running, they could
be gone due to the voting process. My goal is to NOT create an exclusive group, but a leadership group that is trained, operational, and can
continue on if something would ever happen to anyone of us.
Major roles include: the state clinic, the newsletter, the certificates, our vendors, the futures games / junior showcase (which went very well
this year!), the north-south series, all the voting procedures, vison and planning for the future, IHSAA relations, and the life blood of our group
– district reps and their communications. Lots of behind the scenes work. We have excellent people! My/our goal is to continually involve
many people/new people/etc., but I feel it is time to start looking at a more consistent leadership group at the top. I need to hear from you on
this because this will be a bylaw change and we will need to have the membership vote on this change. I am looking forward to your
thoughts…[email protected] or 260-358-7310.
In Baseball,
Brian
PLAYER SPOTLIGHT—Josh VanMeter
Josh VanMeter was called up on May
5, 2019 with the Cincinnati Reds. He
is a 2013 graduate of Norwell H.S.

Diego Padres in the 5th round that
summer. After a few years working
through the Padres minor league

(as of Aug. 1st), he has 24 hits, 4 HR, 10 RBI, .312 BA, and a .418
