I think I’m going to like this new catcher of ours.
Illini backstop Lars Davis went 4 for 5 with 2 runs in Game 2 of the series against the University of South Florida. Yes, the season is only five games old but Davis has 11 hits in 18 at-bats. Keep it up, Lars!
And yes, the Illini won their second game in a row. Jake Toohey had a solid start allowing 3 runs in 6 innings and reliever Matt Whitmore pitched a perfect 3 innings in relief.
Another key in the win? The Illini were errorless in the field for the first time this season. Fielding mishaps played a big part in their losses in the Stetson Invitational a week ago.
One more game left against USF tomorrow.
