Day 3 of the Big Ten Baseball Tournament got underway Thursday morning with Iowa and Illinois facing off in an elimination game. During a scoreless first three innings, the most intriguing thing to happy was Iowa pitcher Brody Brecht in the dugout. He did an in-game interview with teammates placing a lot of bananas on his shoulders and head. Illinois scored in the top of the fourth inning on a bases loaded walk, going up 1-0. However, runners were stranded shortly thereafter. The Fighting Illini added another in the top of the sixth with a sacrifice fly from Coltin Quagliano. However, the Hawk...

Iowa head coach Rick Heller wanted Cade Obermueller to settle in and not get rattled after giving up a run in the fourth inning. Illinois had a bases loaded opportunity and Obermueller only walked in a run and nothing more. NBut in an elimination game in the Big Ten Tournament, every pitch counts offensively and defensively. Heller said as long as his starting pitcher remained composed, they’d have a chance. “Well, he needs to focus on the things he can control,” Heller said on the BTN broadcast during the top of the fifth inning. “He let some edge pitches that he didn’t get affect the last in...

Bad weather on Tuesday meant that Adam Cecere and his teammates on the No. 8 seeded Penn State baseball team would have to wait until Wednesday morning to take on — and eventually upset, 8-4 — No. 1 seed Illinois in the Big Ten Tournament. But Cecere admitted after the win that it took him a while to get going. But a catch he made after barreling in to the wall in right field helped jolt him awake before he delivered a two-run home run in the top of the 6th inning to help extend the lead in a key juncture. Speaking with the Big Ten Network after the win, Cecere said it was just a matter of fin...
