Boy, I didn’t see that coming. Illinois were defeated (dominated, more like it) by our neighbor to the south, Eastern Illinois University by the score of 13-3. EIU scored 4 in the first inning and never looked back. After their six run inning in the 3rd inning, it seemed it…

It’s hard to believe with a heavy snowstorm upon us here in Illinois, that I would be following a baseball game today. With the help of CSTV’s Gametracker, that’s exactly what I did as I saw the University of Illinois win their season opener against Sam Houston State at the…
The Illinois baseball season starts a week from Friday in the warm weather of Texas (see University of Illinois baseball schedule here). FightingIllini.com just did an in-house review of the position players. No doubt a review of the pitchers will be coming soon. There will be some changes on the…
