Dan Hartleb became Illinois baseball’s all-time winningest head coach Sunday evening with an 11-1 win over Michigan. In doing so, the Illini avoided the weekend sweep by the Wolverines.
Hartleb, who has been head coach since 2006, earned his 519th win Sunday thanks in part to catcher Jacob Schroeder, who totaled 3 hits in 5 at-bats with 4 RBI.
