Big Ten - Penn State vs. Illinois

By Courtney Ratkowiak - May 25, 2007

Right after Penn State defeated Michigan, it had to turn around and play another nine innings in another must-win game. This time, it's against Illinois - who defeated Iowa but lost to Minnesota to fall into the loser's bracket.

Penn State didn't use much pitching last game, with only a starter and a closer, so it should be able to use some more of its dominance on the mound against the Illini.

Bottom 5th - And overall, it's been a pretty boring game. Penn State again struck early, this time in the second, on Mike Deese's RBI single. It's been mostly 1-2-3 innings since then - but we'll see what happens.
