A couple of former Illini pitchers are having some success for their respective minor leagues teams. Slammin’ Pack Chris Pack, who was instrumental in Illinois’ success in the 2011 season as a reliever, is showing that same effectiveness for the Joliet Slammers. Thanks in part to Pack (left, pitching for…
Corey Kimes Chris Pack There were two more signings of Illini players this weekend. Corey Kimes inked a contract with the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. Kimes was picked in the 18th round by the Twins. He’ll report to the Fort Myers (Fla) Miracle in the Florida State League which is…
No comeback today. No dramatic walk-offs in the ninth inning. Not even a stray cat made its way onto the field tonight. The Illini just cruised to a victory over their co-conference title holders Michigan State in the Big Ten Baseball Tournament by the score of 4-1. We can thank…
Ho hum… another walk-off win for the Illini. What else is new? Hehe, I can’t pull that complacent shtick off, I am psyched as all get out. Maybe I got worried a bit watching the Illinois-Ohio State game on my friend’s wide screen TV in his basement but I’ll tell…

Lee Zerrusen put up four goose eggs for the Illini Tonight, the Illinois baseball defeated Illinois College 7-0 behind a committee of pitchers led by Lee Zerrusen who pitched four scoreless innings.

Win or lose, Brandon Hohl continues to clobber the ball Tonight, Illinois took their game on the road just a bit south of here and took on Eastern Illinois University. The pitching fared ok but the offense just couldn’t get going as EIU won 4-1. Illinois’ one run came on…
The smile on Adam Davis as he scores on Matt Dittman’s homer says it all When I got to Illinois Field to watch the last game of this weekend’s Illinois-Iowa series and Illinois had already gotten a 5-0 lead before I was situated, I thought I was in for a…
