UI defeat Illinois St behind backtop’s offense

Illinois didn’t look back after Aaron Johnson’s three-run HR in the 2nd University of Illinois scored early and often against Illinois State in their 10-4 win Tuesday night.  Much of their offense came from catcher Aaron Johnson who was 3 for 4 with 4 rbis and 3 runs. Johnson hit a three-run homerun in the [...]

Illinois hosts St Louis for their “official” home opener April 2

Illini score early but succumb to Bradley U.

I didn’t make it out to Illinois Field tonight but had to be content with listening to the game on the radio. I picked it up when Illinois was up 4-0. Unfortunately, that was all the scoring they would do. Brandon Wikoff’s 3 hits and a solid start from Billy Barrett (2 ER in 5 [...]
