Packing notes

Central Illinois springs start cold and windy on the open prairie: bring layers, rain gear and blankets for early games.
Summer afternoons get hot and humid, and turf heats up in the sun; bring a canopy or other shade, sunscreen and plenty of water.
All eight diamonds are synthetic turf, infield and outfield, so pack turf shoes.
