How to Watch Indiana's Game vs. Kentucky Sunday — You Won't Be Happy

Indiana can clinch its first NCAA baseball regional title on Sunday night, but the Hoosiers will have to beat top-seed Kentucky again to do it. The game is NOT being televised, so here is the information on how to watch it online, along with stats and game start information.

LEXINGTON, Ind. — Indiana is now just nine innings away from its first NCAA baseball super regional in 10 years, but it won't be easy getting there. The Hoosiers play top-seed Kentucky again on Sunday night in the double-elimination tournament.

Indiana beat Kentucky 5-3 on Saturday night to advance to the regional championship game. It starts at 6 p.m. ET. The game will be streaming on ESPN-Plus only, with no TV.

If the Hoosiers win, they will advance to next week's super regional, more than likely at LSU. They haven't played in the second week of the tournament since 2013, when they went to Tallahassee, Fla., and swept Florida State to advance to Indiana's only College World Series appearance.

If Indiana loses on Sunday night, the two teams will meet again on Monday.
