Illinois puts its 8-7 conference record on the line this weekend at home against the 11-4 Indiana Hoosiers.
The Illini enter this weekend series already with one win and one loss this week, getting clobbered against Southern Illinois 12-3 on Tuesday night and beating Indiana State 5-2 on Wednesday.
No. 19 Indiana looks to overtake Michigan for tops in the conference, while Illinois is attempting to continue to climb up the standings.
For their second of seven straight games against Indiana teams, the Illini look to start the series on a good note, sending redshirt senior Andy Fisher to the mound on Friday.
