This Week in History

On July 14, 1946, former Illini star LOU BOUDREAU (left) became the first American League player to get five extra-base hits in a game (four doubles and a home run).

Forty years ago this week - July 16, 1985 - former Spartan STEVE GARVEY's two-out, third-inning single drove in Tommy Herr with what proved to be the winning run as the National League topped the American League in the Baseball All-Star Game.
