Illinois wins the Great Lakes Regional Tournament by defeating Michigan State twice in the Championship round.  In the if necessary final game of the tournament, Illinois put up a 7-spot in the 8th inning to win the Great Lakes Regional and punch their ticket to the NCBA DI World Series for the first time since 2016.  Illinois showed incredible mental fortitude by taking home the Great Lakes Championship after dropping their first game of the tournament and clawing their way all the way back.
