For the second straight day cold weather in Champaign has forced the Illinois baseball team to cancel its games against Ohio State.

According to Sunday’s ,the game-time temperature was expected to be 31 degrees with 21 mph winds that would have created a 18-degree wind chill. Coaches from both schools made the decision Saturday morning that playing the game would not be in the best interest of the student-athletes from either school.

The teams will play a doubleheader on Sunday starting at 12:05 p.m., consisting of a nine-inning game followed by a seven-inning contest. Big Ten policy mandating the completion of a conference series in a three-day span once the visiting team has left its campus will prevent the teams from making up the two games that were canceled today.
