“These are some of the hottest expected temperatures that anyone can recall for our baseball tournament,” said IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson. “Our motto is Play Smart, Play Hard, so I think it is common sense to take these precautions for the safety of the student-athletes, coaches, umpires and fans.
