And they're getting it done!
I believe it was Tuzzigoot's son who scored the go ahead run against Fullerton tonight.
Local boy, Cory Kimes was the starter. I thought he pitched better than the numbers (and score) showed.
Tough two in a row against the Stanford Cardinal starting tonight.

Does anyone know the story about Illinois' winning pitcher, Pack was his last name.
They said he was a graduate of Villanova and is in grad school at IL.
I'm assuming he didn't play four years of ball at Villanova?

From the Illini baseball site: No. 12 Chris Pack.
From the Villanova baseball site: No. 12 Chris Pack.
From both sites: Has a brother, David, and a sister, Jennifer.

No such luck Papi. The Illini had no pitching left and Stanford knocked them out 14-2. The Cardinal move on to the supers.
Nice run by Illinois! Way to go Ilini !

Stanford has a few guys that can really smack the ball...especially Ben Clowe and that freshman Austin Wilson.

Quite an awesome experience. CSF games were incredible. 150 IL faithful in the stands, the rest of the stadium obnoxious Titans. When we knocked them out and we were done woopen it up, you couldn't here a dime drop in that stadium, just incredible.
Kids never could get all the cylinders firing the 1st 1/2 of the season, 2nd 1/2 was a completely different story; (gotwood, please follow-up with a picture of all the cylinders firing; thanks brother). So proud of them.
Juniors:
C Adam Davis, 11th Orioles
SS Josh Parr, 12th Diamondbacks
LHP Corey Kimes, 18th Twins
RHP Chris Pack (a Benet kid if you didn't know), I'm sure his name will get called tomorrow being a 5th year senior and he will get his chance to play.
Pitching will be stronger next year with Kevin Johnson, Brian Roberts and Nick Chmielewski back, and Matt Milroy will finally get his chance in the rotation. And some new faces SO Thomas Lindauer is the best defensive SS I've ever seen. SO IF Reid Roper can absolutely rake, and SO Jordan Parr may be the best of the brothers.
Can't wait to watch this team again.

Tuzi,
My daughter attended UofI this past year and I told her I needed to visit so I could see B and KJ play, but unfortunately that did not happen. I did follow every game though, and could not have been prouder of the boys. You, as a parent, must be in la la land! There is no greater feeling than watching your son succeed before your eyes. Enjoy it while it lasts. Give B my best and God Bless You Brother!!

You got it and thanks JB. Be sure to take a trip down next spring, Saturdays preferably; heavy tail-gaiting before and after.
