One game and they’re gone again for two weeks. I blame our Illinois weather. Weather is certainly going to play a factor in our spring schedule. After dropping their home opener to Indiana State, Illinois baseball will be getting away from the nasty cold and wind heading our way. They…
Illinois baseball has an in-state weekend series starting tomorrow. They travel (just a little) south to visit the Southern Illinois Salukis. The Salukis are off to a good start in 2022. Not only are they 13-4 but they are 8-1 at home. Gametime Friday is 6pm. There’s a strong connection between…
In their home opening series, Illinois baseball got down to business this past weekend. Winning their fourth weekend sweep in five weekend against the Southern Illinois Salukis (10-8), the 2019 Illinois team is off their best start in 30 years. Illinois won two hard played one-run games in a doubleheader…
I like Illinois Baseball so much that I think Champaign-Urbana should make the home opener an official city holiday. Unfortunately, this year, we will have to wait just one more day to watch baseball at Illinois Field. FightingIllini.com announced today that Illinois baseball’s series against Southern Illinois will open with…
For the third weekend in a row, Illinois reaped the benefits of Big Ten Player of Week performance. With that help, they won two of three from the rival Southern Illinois Salukis at Itchy Jones Stadium. It was firstbaseman Bren Spillane who hit the cover off the ball, collecting…

Illinois lost the first game against Toledo 10-4. SIU took the second game 3-1. Illinois…
With a 3 for 3 game, Yalowitz’s average soars above .400 Up one win on the weekend, Illinois (5-10) couldn’t quite pull it off against Southern Illinois (10-9) Saturday afternoon despite another great game by Jack Yalowitz.. The Salukis took advantage of four unearned runs in the seventh inning to…
