A word about
@UKBaseball
: much respect to the team that defeated every other team in the regional. Also, their fan base is very loyal yet welcoming to visiting fans for the most part. Kentucky Proud Park is incredible too. 👍
Hot take: Coach Allen is right. Pitching is very much improved. Even after facing a
#1
team, Illinois has given up just 12 runs and struck out 37 in four games. 💪
As
@IlliniBaseball
players filed into the clubhouse after the last home game, Facilities attendant and all-around good dude
@mtwright65_matt
was there to give each one a greeting.
Matt is family.
All those awesome
@IlliniBaseball
vids you're seeing on social media?? You have Caleb Frank to thank for that. Nobody works harder behind a📷than he does.
Michael Massey on his first MLB hit: "I envisioned it about 100 times last night. ... Every kid growing up dreams of getting a hit in the major leagues, so to have that dream come true was really special."

THAT'S AN ILLINOIS VICTORY!!!
@MoermanRyan
's three-run blast and 3.1 scoreless innings turned in by the bullpen give the
#Illini
the massive series-opening win!

For the first time in his career,
@ConnorMilton02
has been named
@B1Gbaseball
Player of the Week!
Milton went 9-for-12 (.750) with two doubles, three home runs and eight RBI to help the
#Illini
to a series sweep of Northwestern!

I also wonder what
@ZakHartleb24
is saying to his bat before stepping to the plate. It worked Sunday with an rbi base hit in
@IlliniBaseball
's five-run rally.
I stopped by the fundraiser for Coach Allen before the game and bought my
#ALLENSTRONG
t-shirt.
Many thanks to
@HowardMILTON3
for introducing me around.
