It’s official: Oskaloosa baseball will be hosting a playoff game.

The IHSAA released postseason brackets for classes 3A and 4A this morning, and on Friday, July 11th, Oskaloosa will welcome the ADM Tigers to town for the first round of the playoffs. It will be the first playoff baseball game hosted by the Indians since 2020.

At 13-9, the Indians have already collected more wins this season than they have in any of the past four seasons. Led by a pitching staff that currently sports a collective 2.42 ERA, the Indians are also searching for their first postseason win since 2019, when they defeated Nevada in the substate quarterfinals.

The ADM Tigers (6-16) will be the visiting team on July 11. Last season, the Tigers went 16-15 with a loss to North Polk in the second round of the substate playoffs.

Coverage of Oskaloosa baseball’s playoff run will air on KBOE 104.9 FM and kboeradio.com. Pregame will start at 6:40pm for each broadcast.
