Big Ten title on the line this weekend for Illini baseball against Buckeyes

The No. 25 Illini host No. 27 Ohio State this weekend in a three-game series that could decide the conference crown. Illinois (31-14, 14-4 Big Ten) is first in the Big Ten, but the Buckeyes (34-13, 13-5) can rise to the top of the standings with a series win in Champaign.

Illinois junior catcher Aaron Johnson is a man who likes to be in control of things -- like the race for the Big Ten title.

"It's all in our hands now," Johnson said. "As long as we keep winning it's not like there's anything anybody else can do."
