Fighting Illini Heading to Elite 8
ABA College fans definitely got the battle they bargained for in this year's Sweet 16.

The Illinois Fighting Illini have eliminated the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in the final game, by a score of 1-0, to advance to the Elite 8.

Zachery Naquin was named series MVP and said he and his teammates are "fortunate and excited to have beaten a quality team like Georgia Tech."

For the series, Naquin had a 0.00 ERA over 4 innings pitched, with a 0-0 record.

The Illinois Fighting Illini don't know who they will face in the next round. They will play the winner of the Nebraska Cornhuskers - Notre Dame Fighting Irish series. That series is tied at 1 game each. The Elite 8 schedule will be announced after the Sweet 16 finishes.
