NORMAL, Ill. – The Illinois State baseball team will travel to Champaign-Urbana Tuesday evening for a non-conference tilt with in-state foe Illinois. First pitch at Illinois Field is set for 6 p.m.
Illinois State (8-22) will make the return trip to Illinois (13-16) after the Fighting Illini earned an 8-3 win over the Redbirds March 22 at Duffy Bass Field.
The Redbirds were most recently swept in a rain-shortened series against Dallas Baptist. The visiting Patriots won the first two games of the series before Sunday's contest was rained out. The Missouri Valley Conference games were the first of the season for both teams.
