[Perfect Game Iowa @IowaPG]

Carson Boelens (‘25, IL) working the low-80s with tons of AS life & run. Showing a breaker around 70 mph w/ good depth and big shape to it. Mixing both early on. @PG_Illinois @PG_Uncommitted #BattleForTheMW

[Perfect Game Iowa @IowaPG]

Chase Henry (‘25, IL) strides into it well here and connects. Lifts one backside, nearly foul. Sees it down in fair territory and hustles out the XBH, picking up a double here. @PG_Illinois @PG_Uncommitted #BattleOfTheMW

[Perfect Game Iowa @IowaPG]

Tanner Soucinek (‘25, IL) used a spread base here with some whip thru it. Connects and drives this one well. Adds a base knock here doing a good job working on the barrel here. @PG_Illinois @PG_Uncommitted #BattleForTheMW

[Perfect Game Iowa @IowaPG]

Jaydon Burrage (‘27, IL) turns hard and connects to drive this one PS. Turns through it well with some strength off it. Belts a double here to connect and drive it. @PG_Illinois #BattleForTheMW
