The Illini scored a pair of runs in the fourth inning courtesy of a Kellen Sarver 2-run single. Illinois would get four more in the seventh inning. An RBI groundout from Taylor Jackson and a Branden Comia walk scored the first two runs of the inning, before Justin Janas added a 2-run single with the bases loaded.
