2010 Spring/Fall Information
As the season came to an end ISU Redbirds finished 15 and 5 placing us in 2nd place in our conference behind rival University of Illinois. Finishing in 2nd place is the highest we have finished in ISU history. The ISU Redbirds had their best season yet giving us 15 wins which is the most in ISU history. Our Redbirds also finished the season ranked 27 nationally and was ranked as high as 12th during the season. With the amount of talent coming back and the amount of talent that we bring in during our fall season we are positive we will be able to compete with fellow conference champions University of Illinois.
We will be having another fall season that will be successful that will start up during the first month of school. Fall baseball is a chance for returning and new players to come out and play competitive and fun baseball while working for a spot on our spring team for the upcoming season. We will be distributing flyers as well making an appearance during Quad Day with more specific details.
Fall baseball will be played at least 4 days out of the week either at Lexington Field in Lexington or O’Neil Park in Bloomington.
We plan on having 8 or 10 teams depending on how big of a turn out we have. Last year we had 8 teams that came out but were affected by the weather significantly. This year, we have established a new system that is successful and will have a much better outcome than last year.
If you have any questions, please email anyone of the representatives on the Contact List and we will email you back promptly.
