'Winning a championship is awesome'
Photo by: ProvidedSports editor MATT DANIELS caught up with the local talent that helped the Illinois club baseball team bring home a national title:
Matt Davis did what any normal college student who just won a national championship would do.
"We celebrated in the hotel in North Carolina drinking out of the trophy," the Centennial graduate said, "and eating pizza with money given to us by former club baseball alumni for winning the title."
Davis, fellow Centennial graduate Anthony Martin and Champaign Central graduate Marshall Thompson were all a part of the Illinois club baseball team that defeated Grand Canyon 9-5 on Thursday night in Holly Springs, N.C., to win a national championship.
