Tourney bids an expectation now for Illini
Rick Danzl/The News-Gazette Illinois baseball head coach Dan Hartleb at Illinois Field in Champaign on Tuesday, May 28, 2019.CHAMPAIGN — Illinois didn't waste any time putting up a "2019" on the left-field wall at Illinois Field to mark this season's NCAA tournament appearance.
It's the fourth regional berth for Illinois baseball in nine years — a number that would be higher if the Illini weren't among the first four out in both 2014 and 2018.
