Illini Win Big Ten Tournament With 9-1 Victory Over Michigan St.

Junior left-hander Corey Kimes threw the first complete game of his career and senior first baseman Matt Dittman ripped a towering grand slam as top-seeded Illinois cruised to a 9-1 win over No. 2 seed Michigan State in the Big Ten Tournament championship game at Huntington Park on Saturday. It is the Illini's first Big Ten Tournament title and berth in the NCAA Tournament since 2000, and the first time in school history that Illinois has won both the Big Ten regular-season and tournament titles in the same season.
