Great way for our 14 special seniors to end a tough day. Thanks so much to Mrs. Maurer, Mr. Chapman and Ms. DiVita for setting it up on the fly. So awesome for our families.

May God bless the family and extended baseball family of Coach Mike Brown. Baseball in Bloomington-Normal and for miles beyond are better because of your influence. Rest In Peace, Coach.
Tough one tonight but so very proud of our team! 25 wins and our first Regional Championship since 2007 are outstanding.
Thank you players, especially our six graduates, for your hard work, positive energy and brotherhood.
Also thank you to our families!!
Ironmen always!
When a pandemic ends your season, when the ball doesn’t bounce your way, when you feel like packing up and going home, hear these words. Remember we are blessed to have a beating heart, air in our lungs and the opportunity to play baseball today.

If you haven’t yet, head out to the Corn Crib to watch Kernels Collegiate League action. Plenty of Ironmen and other Intercity guys on the field every Wednesday thru Sunday nights starting at 5:30. Guys busting their butts and playing the game the right way!!

5 years ago (2015): Normal Community High School senior Jake Wegner made his first start of the season, three months after having a 10-pound malignant tumor removed and three weeks since his final radiation treatment. Batting ninth and playing right…
Ironmen Baseball’s loss is Prairie Central High School’s gain. Best of luck Coach Steve in your new position. We will continue to set base stealing records as often as possible!!
