Josh Parr:  All-Big Ten Second Team

Yesterday, seven Illinois baseball players were honored with All-Big Ten awards.  While the Big Ten championship team was shut out of the All-Big Ten First team, Adam Davis, Pete Cappetta and Josh Parr were placed on the Second Team and Casey McMurray and Wes Braun were selected for the Third Team. 

Thomas Lindauer was selected as All-Big Ten Freshman at shortstop.  Additionally, Josh Parr was also honored with a Big Ten Sportsmanship Award. 

Congrats to everyone!  You’re all first team as far as I’m concerned.
