Alec Williams (‘25, IL) added a couple of hits on the day, here’s one of those swings as he uses the long levers well to get the job done. Lifts one and finds a way one. @PG_Illinois@PG_Uncommitted#BattleForTheMW
Micah McCoy (‘25, IL) lifts the leg and takes the barrel to this one, he drives it well and finds a way to connect for the barreled up double here. Added 2 hits on the day. @PG_Illinois@PG_Uncommitted#BattleForTheMW
