A different Illini baseball player will fill in readers throughout the week on the team's weeklong trip to Curaco and Aruba. First up, senior pitcher Zak Devermann:
Hey, Illini Baseball fans!
My name is Zak Devermann, and this upcoming Thanksgiving break our team is traveling to the islands of Curaçao and Aruba for a community service trip.
Along with touring the islands and volunteering with some local camps, we'll also have the opportunity to play some games against some of the local people on the island.
Playing these games will help us create more team chemistry and better prepare us for our season this upcoming spring.
