TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State baseball went viral this past Wednesday evening in their road contest at No. 23 Miami (Fla.) as the Sycamores took on the Hurricanes in the midweek game.
Sycamore alum and current New York Mets pitcher Sean Manaea (2011-13) attended the game as a fan and made his way down to the Indiana State bullpen late in the contest.
The moment, captured by multiple collegiate baseball sites and social media accounts, including 11Point7 College Baseball, exploded on social media as Manaea was filmed hanging out and chatting with the players in the bullpen late in the game.
NJ.com's Max Goodman caught up with both Sean Manaea and Indiana State head coach Tracy Archuleta about the moment at the linked article.
