It’s more about Andy right now. We’re excited about Justin. I’m more excited than anybody. But we’re just going to let this thing play out.”
“We made our pitches the first time through (getting a groundout),” Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal said of facing Perez. “Hung one the second time, he took us deep. And then made a really good pitch the third time through and he took us deep, so we were going to make sure he wasn’t going to beat us.
Illinois clearly misses starting quarterback Brandon Peters, out with a left shoulder injury suffered early in last week’s win over the Cornhuskers.
