28 April 2019 Game 39: Illinois at Nebraseball (Illinois wins 6-5)

[kidofSN]

This team has to sweep Northwestern and at worst go 3-3 against Mich and Arizona State. If that does not happen this team will struggle getting into the tourney unless they at least make the finals of the Big Ten Tourney. That probably does not happen! It if does awesome.. If it does not then a change needs to be strongly looked at !

It was on Erstad for not rescheduling the games cancelled earlier in the year. Anyone who did the math knew we had to win the whole thing and he went in knowing those impossible odds.

Truth is he never thought his team could pull it off otherwise why give them a win it all or nothing scenario to begin with.

It was a ballsy pitching rotation he threw out there in that conference tourney, though...

He held off on throwing DeLeon until GAME 4!!!
