Illini baseball rallies late, defeats Ohio State

The Illini trailed 4-1 before scoring a run in the bottom of the eighth to cut it to 4-2. In the bottom of the ninth, Pete Cappetta drew a one-out walk, and back-to-back errors by the Ohio State defense loaded the bases. Senior Joe Bonadonna then came through in a big way with a two-run single to left-center field to tie the game. Casey McMurray followed with a single to right field to end the game and send a record crowd into a frenzy.
