Yellowhammers Lose to Warhawks, 6-4
The 6-4 <Illinois:team#74> win over <Alabama:team#3> was due largely to <Dan Byrd:player#7124>. The Warhawks catcher went 2-4 with a double and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Alabama has now lost 7 straight.

Had <Darryl Pittman:player#7611> not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Pittman hit a 2-run single. That made the score 6-4, in favor of the Warhawks.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Pittman said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."
