Indiana Baseball just announced on X that the game has been moved back two hours to 3pm ET. Storms are in the Bloomington area now.


entry by Carl - Oct. 19, 2025, 2:24 p.m.:

On site at the Bart. Light rain is falling. Music is playing. Both teams are here but sheltered for now.


entry by Carl - Oct. 19, 2025, 2:33 p.m.:

This my first in-person look at the Bart since the new turf has been installed. Getting a close look, it seems that this turf will still play relatively fast. Compared to what I saw at Illinois in the spring this turf looks to have shorter blades than what they had in Champaign.

East Carolina transfer RHP Ian White, Jr. and Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati transfer LHP Connor Linn have been seen warming up.


entry by Carl - Oct. 19, 2025, 3 p.m.:

coaches just got done meeting. It looks like they’ve agreed to start soon but not quite at 3 PM waiting for some sort of announcement significant activity in both dugout and both pens so play looks eminent. Just not right now.
