A positive baseball season for the Milan Indians came full circle with the recent presentation of awards. The team ended their ORVC conference run in a tie with Jac-Cen-Del Eagles, after falling to them a second time at season’s end. The Indians advanced to Regional action in IHSAA Class 2A from the South Ripley High School hosted Sectional #45 but were halted in the first round Regional battle. Six seniors graced the Tribe lineup and will be missed greatly when season next rolls around.
