I just looked at their schedule. They are now 3-2 with two losses to Wake Forest (ranked #6) and now are playing Southern Mississippi (ranked #18.) Two more games with them, and those are the ONLY currently ranked teams on their schedule.
Not sure how they'll do this year (their losses to Wake were BAD) but yesterday's result was an encouragement. Southern Miss has had great teams in the past, with numerous major league all-stars.

Lost 14-13 in 11 innings. We used 10 pitchers who collectively hit 5 batters, threw 5 wild pitches and walked 13. The game took 5 hours and 17 minutes and was marred by multiple play reviews. At the end of the game Southern Miss. had bases loaded, one out and sent a line drive over the outfielders head which brought in the winning run. However, neither the runner on first or second base advanced to the next station. Illinois threw the ball to third and second base respectively and argued that constituted a double play thus negating the run that came in. He lost his appeal and we lost the game. Frankly, I don't know the rule there but Hartlieb argued that all runners are required to advance once the batter made it to first base.

If they got two force outs then the run shouldn't have counted. Regardless, team had multiple opportunities to win and the pitching staff let them down
