This weekend of @IlliniBaseball is Warrior Weekend celebrating the life and work of former pitching coach Mark Allen who passed away of cancer in February.
Give this entire video a listen. Brought tears to our eyes. UNBELIEVABLE NIGHT for @tabeling7 , he was absolutely dealing. 3IP 0H 0R 0BB 5Ks 31 pitches thrown 27 of those strikes. Touching 98 wasnβt bad either. KEEP DEALING SON. We are all so proud of ya!!
THAT'S AN ILLINOIS VICTORY!!!
The Illini rally from down six and score seven unanswered to pick up their first win at the Las Vegas College Baseball Classic!
Sam Reed dominates in relief to earn the win, tossing 4.0 scoreless frames to go along with three strikeouts!
Hard to come up with the words for the impact Coach Allen left on me. He became one of my greatest role models in my life in such a short time. Coach Allen, Thank you for helping me grow my knowledge in the game of baseball. Thank you for always having my back.
Itβs hard to put into words what Mark Allen meant to me. One of the most unique, kindest and selfless souls Iβve ever met. Never failed to make me laugh and always made others feel like the most important person in the room. He left this world, and me, better than he found it.
We lost a great human being. A great man of faith. A great Husband, Father and Coach that positively impact EVERYONE he came in contact with during his life. Mark was a champion everyday of his life. We will miss him greatly.
