Indiana State is headed to the Super Regionals of the NCAA baseball tournament for the second time in school history—and having some fun in the process.
The Sycamores hosted one of the 16 regionals in Terre Haute this weekend after going 42–15 and winning the Missouri Valley Conference tournament. They beat Wright State and Iowa in their first two games to set up a rematch with the Hawkeyes on Sunday with a spot in the Super Regionals on the line. The stakes were high, but when Iowa’s Brayden Frazier hit a long fly ball to deep left-center, Indiana State left fielder Adam Pottinger decided to pull a little prank.
Pottinger leaped to try to catch the ball, and even though he couldn’t make the grab, he acted as if he did. And everyone believed him.
