Four years ago today, the Illini swept Big Ten baseball's top three individual awards as the Conference named its 2015 honors.
Dan Hartleb, who led Illinois to its first Big Ten regular-season championship since 2011, was named Coach of the Year. Senior first baseman David Kerian and junior left-hander Tyler Jay were respective honorees as Player and Pitcher of the Year. Besides Kerian and Jay, catcher Jason Goldstein, shortstop Adam Walton and outfielder Casey Fletcher earned first-team All-Big Ten acclaim.
Other memorable moments on this date in Illinois athletics history:
May 19, 1923: Clifford "Stonewall" Jackson scattered three hits on the mound and slammed a home run in his final Illini appearance at home as Illinois topped Wisconsin 7-1.
