Best thing about MU baseball and life at MU: Since transferring to Millikin University from a junior college, I have realized that MU has some definite advantages over other schools. Millikin has rather small class sizes. These smaller class sizes best fit my learning style. You are able to receive a more personalized education than you would receive in the large, lecture hall setting of most universities. Millikin baseball has given me the opportunity to meet some really great guys. Whether we are on the field or playing games on a long bus trip, I have really enjoyed the time spent with my teammates.

Best Thing about MU Baseball and life at MU:

Everyone on the MU baseball team has their own unique way of playing the game and interacting with their teammates. We can all get along despite our differences. It's easy to do well at Millikin because of the small class sizes. This makes it easier to interact with professors and other students.

Upcoming Events

Our fall season is extremely important to helping us attain our goals. Competition will be tough as the Millikin Big Blue will play intra-squad scrimmages throughout the fall season.

The Big Blue will have one of two fundraisers during the fall season. The Fall 100-inning marathon will take place on the last day of fall workouts. The marathon will take roughly 5-6 hours to play, and student athletes are given the task of finding donors to pledge money for their participation in the event.
