Indians Baseball Putting Together Historic Summer
Brian McSweeney
We continue to look back this week at the Doenges Toyota Indians state championship on Sunday in Ada and look ahead to the Mid-South Regional in North Carolina starting next Wednesday.
A summer ago, the Indians advanced to the state finals and lost to the Ada Braves, 10-5. Bartlesville went 0-2 against Ada in last year's state tournament.
This summer, the Indians beat the Braves twice to win their first state championship since 1978.
The championship is the latest of a trend for Bartlesville this summer of exceptional play in tournaments. The Indians won the Glen Winget Tournament for the second year in a row, as well as the Bobcat Showcase Tournament in Branson, Mo. last month.
In Sunday's winner-take-all state championship game, the Indians saw an eight run lead get cut to two, but Bartlesville survived and won the game by three.
Similar to the state tournament, the regional tournament next week is a double-elimination bracket.
