We're back at Haymarket Park for the second game of this three-game series this weekend to kick off Big Ten play as Illinois looks to bounce back after dropping an 8-4 contest last night against Nebraska. Yesterday's game could be labeled as the "flu game" for starter Emmett Olson who went seven innings and struck out a career-high 10 batters as he dealt with the flu. In fact, after the first inning, Olson came to the dugout and puked. Olson surrendered four runs, but his offense picked him up as the Huskers poured in six runs in the first innings including a three-run home run by Max Anderson for his fourth of the season.
Additionally, Nebraska beat the Illini in a season-high crowd last night as the game's attendance went over 5,000 spectators. Last, but certainly not least, Alex Gordon, Shane Komine and Darin Erstad were all honored last night as their numbers were the first three to be retired in the program's 117-year history. Here's that story from last night:
