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…
Brandon Hohl can’t do it all. Though he tried. Hohl did his best as he went 3 for 3 and drove in all four of Illini’s run in Saturday’s 7-4 loss to Iowa. He even gave the Illini faithful some hope of a comeback as he hit a ninth-inning two-run…
Here’s the IlliniHQ.com’s summary from last night’s win against Iowa entitled ‘Shelton delivers’. I get personal satisfaction from that because Thomas Shelton is a student in the department where I work. Keep it up, Thomas! IlliniHQ also had an accompanying ‘just-the-facts’ article.

Three hits for Brandon Hohl I’m not much in terms of fan support, I guess. When I left my office to watch the Illinois play Benedictine, Gametracker told me we were ahead 4-1. When I got to Illinois Field (just a hop, skip and a jump across the cemetery), they…
Illinois is coming off a disappointing series loss against Penn State and have a bit of work to do. Illinois lost 13-4 on Sunday due mostly to a 8-run fourth inning by the Lions which the Illini could never recover. Fortunately, there are two midweek games on the schedule for…
At Lubrano Park, Illinois lost a tight game 3-1 against Penn State. Illini starter John Anderson and Penn State’s starter both pitched complete games giving their respective bullpens some rest. The Illini coaches may be working with pitchers and catchers a bit extra this next week. All three Nit runs…
With a Willie Argo triple and a Josh Parr rbi single, the Illini once again won in the ninth inning, this time against Penn State 7-6 in the Big Ten opener on Friday night. This extends the Illini’s winning streak to five games and they are now breaching the .500…
