Wow, what a game that two Illini had yesterday in the Northwoods League!
Playing for the Madison Mallards, Willie Argo drove in six runs and Justin Parr got five hits. The Mallards won 16-3 over the Waterloo Bucks. For the record, Argo was 2 for 4 with two homeruns and six rbis. Parr was 5 for 6 with 3 runs scored and two doubles. Here’s a look at the tasty boxscore.
That effort was good enough to warrant Northwoods League Players of the Night.
The two homeruns for Argo were his first two of the summer. He’s hitting .385 for the year. Parr’s five hits brought his batting average up to .306.
It’s worth mentioning that Illini teammate Thomas Lindauer who plays for the opposing Waterloo team, went 2 for 5 in the same game. Lindauer is playing 2B for the Bucks. Bucks CF Davis Hendrickson had an ohfer night last night but don’t feel too bad for him… he’s hitting .375 for Waterloo this season.
The Mallards are now tied for first place with the Eau Claire Express with a 13-7 record. Waterloo is two games behind them.
Congrats to Willie and Justin and good luck to them all!
