If you're going to be watching here are a few players to keep an eye on:

Minnesota
Tom Windle LHP: Late 1st early 2nd round pick
DJ Snelton LHP: 4th-5th round pick

Michigan:
Michael O'Neil OF: 3rd-4th round pick
Patrick Biondi OF: 8th-10th round pick

Indiana
Aaron Slegers RHP: 7th-8th round pick
Kyle Schwarber: C- Potentail 1st rounder in 2014
Sam Travis 1B: Potential 1st rounder in 2014

Illinois
Justin Parr OF: 10th-15th round pick
Jordan Parr OF: 10th-15th round pick

Illinois lead Minnesota early 2-1 top of the 4th

Minnesota tied it up 2-2 after 5. Duchene is holding his own against Windle.

Minnesota won 3-2 in the bottom of the 9th. Illinois has to win tomorrow or it will really hurt their chances to get an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. They'll play the loser of the Nebraska/Michigan game.

Right now looking like it will be Michigan, as Nebraska leads 4-0 bottom of the 4th.

What time does Wisconsin play?

10 More Wins

Illinois is up on Michigan 2-1 thru 3 innings. This is a must win for Illinois.

Illinois hung on to beat Michigan 3-2. This victory should assure the Illini of an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.

Ohio St beat Nebraska and Indiana beat Minnesota. Illinois plays Minnesota in an elimination game today at 12:05. The winner will play Nebraska at 3:35 in another elimination game. Indiana and Ohio St paly at 7:05.

Illinois lost to Minnesota 3-1. With an RPI of 30 the Illini are a lock for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.

Nebraska defeated Indiana 7-6 to force a 2nd Championship Game today at 12:00pm. If Nebraska wins they will receive an autmatic bid to the NCAA Tournamnent and a loss could hurt Indiana's chances of receiving a National Seed.

Sam Travis (Providence) is absolutely destroying the ball this tournament. He has 2 doubles off the wall today to go along with 2 home runs earlier in the week. Looks like the wrist uinjury that has plagued him all season is finally starting to feel better.

Indiana won the Big 10 tournament and the automatic bid but is doubtful to get a National Seed. The Big 10 will be a 2 bid league (Illinois).
