The Illinois baseball team became just the second team in the Big Ten and the eighth team overall to defeat Michigan this season.
The Illini (24-22, 10-12 Big Ten) swept Saturday's doubleheader against the Wolverines behind strong pitching to earn a series split with the Big Ten leader.
Sophomore pitcher Mike Stankiewicz and senior pitcher Jake Toohey combined to lead the Illini to a 7-4 eight-inning win in the first game of the doubleheader and sophomore Scott Shaw threw a complete game in the nightcap to ensure the Illini a split with the No. 13-ranked Wolverines.
"I thought we pitched very well in the first three games," head coach Dan Hartleb said. "Overall we were much improved on the mound against a very good hitting team."
