It's RHP Seti Manase on the mound with an ERA of 1.52 in 23.2 IP. Serruto is again behind the plate with Mathison again as the DH.
It's RHP Riley Gowens on the mound for the Illini with an ERA of 5.93 in 41 IP. He is second in the B1G in strikeouts.
It's sunny as it begins to set and 77 degrees at game time and a light wind of 7 mph out of the south and it's blowing out toward the OF.
1st Inning:
T1st:
Glasser K'd looking to start the game and Whalen grounded out to the pitcher.
Taylor then clubbed his 6th homer of the season to dead CF to give IU an early lead of 1-0.
Tibbitts flied out to retire the side.
B1st:
Manase got the leadoff hitter on a GO back to him. He then gave up back-to-back singles to put runners on 1st and 2nd with one out.
What could have been a DP, Glasser bobbled the ball at SS, but he was able to get the runner at 1st for two outs and runners on 2nd and 3rd.
A fairly deep fly was snared by Whalen to end the inning.
IU 1 Illini 0
