Maybe it’s early to make such a prediction but I smell a Big Ten player of the Week award going to Willie Argo. Today, Argo slammed two homeruns in Illinois’ 11-5 win over Penn State at Medlar Field. In addition to the two dingers, he was 3 for 5 with…
Willie Argo was one single shy of the cycle as Illinois defeated Penn State 7-3 at Medlar Field in University Park, Pennsylvania. Argo was 3 for 4 with 3 runs and 3 rbis. It was another comeback win for the Illini against a Big Ten team. They were down 3-0…
Once again, Michigan scored first but Illinois came back to win another one from Wolverines to take the series from UM in Ann Arbor. Michigan scored two in the first but Illinois rallied to put three on the board in the second inning thanks to consecutive singles by Aaron Johnson…
Boy, that was a close one! Josh Parr drove in the winning run in the 10th inning Down 4-1, Illinois pulled ahead in the fifth by a run only to lose the lead in the next inning. The Illini quickly tied it up and that’s where it stood till the…

Casey McMurray takes one for the team on Friday The 11-2 Illini jumped two spots in the Collegiate Baseball poll to #19 after their four game sweep last weekend over University of Akron Zips. Indeed, the only time the Zips showed real life over the weekend was when the pressure…
It’s late and I have time only to post a few photos. But great game Illinois! They won 10-1 over the Akron Zips. Box Score Phil Haig got into a little trouble early but got out of most jams he got into and just allowed one run in six innings.…
Yes, we have some photos of last weekend’s series! Morgan Gilman attended the Illinois series against LSU in Baton Rouge at the new Alex Box Stadium last weekend and snapped some photos while she was there. Many thanks to Morgan for passing these photos on to me! Here’s a good…
