The fog eventually lifted but the home fans’ spirits did not There was something about the late afternoon fog that added to atmosphere of Friday’s game against the Southern Illinois Salukis (3-13). It certainly didn’t bode well for the Illini as they were handed their first home loss by the…

Wow, this is ironic.

Thomas Shelton hits a 3-run homer in the 7th inning… …and gets welcomed at the plate by his teammates. Lots of excitement tonight at the Illinois-Ohio State game… from off and on rain to a 20 minute delay due to an outage of the stadium lights. However, nothing thrilled the…
