Former Illini pitcher Tanner Roark is making his way up the ladder in the minors. He was just promoted to Double-A and is now playing for the Frisco Roughriders in the Texas League.
He made his debut last night and had a little trouble but nothing awful allowing a run in 2/3 inning in a relief appearance against San Antonio.

My best memory of Roark was when he pitched the Illini to victory against Iowa in the first game of the 2007 Big Ten Tournament.
Congrats Tanner!
