Game times at both sites of the 2021 IHSAA State Baseball Tournament will be adjusted on Wednesday, July 28 due to forecasted heat indexes in Carroll and Iowa City.

The early session at both locations will begin at 10 a.m., with the second game to follow at 12 p.m. The late sessions will be scheduled for a 6 p.m. start, with the following game at 8 p.m. There will be at least 40 minutes between games during each session.

In Carroll, both Class 1A and 2A are scheduled to play their semifinals on Wednesday. Class 3A will open the tournament in Iowa City with their quarterfinal contests.

Games were previously scheduled for 11 a.m. starts for early sessions, and 4:30 p.m. (Carroll) and 5 p.m. (Iowa City) starts for late sessions.

Tickets already purchased remain good for their updated times. Tickets for this year’s tournament are sold in two-game sessions for each site and date. Spectators are encouraged to remain cool and hydrated prior to arriving at each site. Gates will open one hour before the start of each session. Spectators are permitted to enter both host sites with unopened water bottles.

This updated schedule is currently only set for games on Wednesday, July 28.
