Macomb, Ill. – The Ryan Cermak show took over Macomb, Ill. on Wednesday as the third-year sophomore blasted grand slams in back-to-back innings and homered in his next at-bat en route to recording a school-record 10 RBIs in Illinois State's 15-7 win at Western Illinois.
Cermak broke Mike Prior's school-record nine RBIs mark that was set in 1985. Cermak is also the fifth player in Redbird history to hit three home runs in a game and first to do so since current St. Louis Cardinal Paul DeJong hit three against Eastern Ilinois in 2015.
