FightingIllini.com has come out with their preview of this weekend’s series against the Western Kentucky University Hilltoppers.
A couple telling statistics… Illinois is:
3-0 when out-hitting its opponent
3-1 when making 0 or 1 error
Also, it’s confirmed that WKU is indeed a tough team:
WKU was picked fourth in the SBC preseason coaches’ poll behind Florida Atlantic, Florida International and Louisiana-Lafayette. The Toppers have played well against a tough schedule, going 7-5 with losses to No. 2 Vanderbilt, No. 18 College of Charleston, No. 25 Auburn and Coastal Carolina among their five defeats.
Wednesday, the Daily Illini had a feature article on transfer Illini Chris Pack who has gotten off to a good start this year out of the bullpen.
[edit] almost forgot… Lee Zerrusen, relief pitcher and resident team blogger, posts Diamond Notes #3. He previews the weekend series with WKU.
