Thunder Herd?

Nicely done, Illini!!! Respect for the extra inning guts!

Kentucky (seeded, #14) is already up on DePaul. It's definitely tournament time!

Congrats lady Illini. Keep it going.

The more Illini teams in the post season the better!
Congrats Lady Illini!

Ladies not on tv, but lost 1-0 (3 hits for each team) in a heartbreaker. Great season, Illini

Regionals are double elimination so they get a chance to keep going, right?

 

[Illini_1979]

Correct.

Yeah, sorry, I thought that they said yesterday that today's game would be on. Tough loss.

Wow, that close to nipping Kentucky and putting themselves in the driver's seat for the regional? Heartbreaking is right enough.

I suppose that they've got to win three in a row now to advance. Go Illini!

 

[mdonsbach]

Yeah they are rolling right now.

Softball victorious over Marshall 10-2, needs to beats Kentucky twice tomorrow to advance to the Super Regionals.

Sorry, I forgot about double elimination since I was just watching updates, not watching on TV. Anybody know if the first game is on tv tomorrow?

Haven't seen anything indicated as of yet, but even if it's not, you can still watch it on ESPN3.

Illini softball loses 4-2 to Kentucky and has been eliminated. They rallied a bit in the 7th but it wasn't enough.

Kentucky moves on to the Super Regional where they will likely face Oregon in Eugene.

A great year! Next year let's make it a threepeat!
