Warhawks Get Past Oregon for 2-1 Win
Illinois starter Stephen Brennan put a stranglehold on the Oregon offense. The right-hander had complete command of his fastball in leading the Warhawks to a 2-1 win. Illinois reliever Kyle Gurka was the winner. His record is now 8-6. The losing pitcher was John Houser. Robby Hess picked up the save for Illinois, his 40th of the year.

The game was at a stalemate until pinch hitter Victor Montenegro came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Oregon pitcher John Houser, he hit a 1-0 cutter for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Illinois on top, 2-1.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Montenegro told the Illinois Chronicle.

Illinois's record now stands at 67-92, placing them 4th in the Frontier League East.
