The dates are set! I know a few of you have contacted me asking me if I knew when the Illinois Baseball annual intrasquad Orange and Blue World Series was taking place. Illinois Baseball Coach Hartleb announced yesterday that the dates are right around the corner.
- Game 1: Monday, Sept. 28 at 4:15 p.m.
- Game 2: Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 6:15 p.m.
- Game 3: Thursday, Oct. 1 at 6:15 p.m.
You’ll find a very different team taking the field for the series. Many of the stars from the record-breaking 2015 season have graduated or have been drafted. That goes for the top three starting pitchers. As I’ve said in years past, the Orange and Blue Series is a great chance to get to know the team that will be representing the Illini in the coming spring. With so many newcomers, that goes doubly so this year.
All games are free to the public and take place at Illinois Field. Hope to see you there!!
