"We are excited to welcome fans to Victory Field for the Indiana High School Baseball State Finals, one of the greatest summer traditions hosted each year at our beautiful downtown ballpark," said Randy Lewandowski, Indianapolis Indians president and CEO. "We look forward to helping student-athletes, coaches and fans alike create lifelong memories with an unrivaled championship atmosphere both on and off the field."

The Class 1A opener features a rematch of last year's championship game in which Lafayette Central Catholic secured its second straight title and ninth overall with a 1-0 victory over Barr-Reeve. Lafayette Central Catholic has reeled off 20 straight wins in tournament play. Barr-Reeve is seeking the school's first baseball state championship after runner-up finishes in 1998 and 2023.

In Friday's nightcap, Class 3A will crown a first-time champion. New Prairie is making its first appearance in the state championship game while Brebeuf Jesuit looks to make school history after falling short in the finals in 2012 and 2022. The Braves lost in the 2022 final to Andrean, 5-1.

In the first contest on Saturday, Class 2A pits two powers against each other. Both Providence and Illiana Christian are 2-0 all time in the 2A championship game. Providence won it all in 2016 and 2021, and Illiana Christian is seeking its third straight title. The Vikings defeated Covenant Christian 3-0 in last year's title game.

Class 4A rounds out the slate of championship games on Saturday night. Mooresville is making its first appearance in the state finals while Lake Central is in the state championship game for a fourth time and first since 2012, when the Indians topped Roncalli, 1-0.
