Super Regional Preview/Gamethread: Vanderbilt at #6 Illinois

Two of the hottest teams in college baseball will square off on Saturday night with a trip to the College World Series on the line. Vanderbilt and #6 Illinois both ripped through Regional play to set up one of the most hotly-anticipated Super Regional showdowns of 2015.

Game one is set to live up to the hype. SEC Pitcher of the Year Carson Fulmer will square off against Illinois ace Kevin Duchene. If Duchene can make it through seven innings, he'll cede the mound to the Big Ten Pitcher of the Year, Tyler Jay. The stage is set for plenty of strikeouts at Illinois Field tonight.
