Incoming University of Illinois President Timothy Killeen poses with the team after throwing out the first pitch at the Flames baseball game versus Milwaukee Friday at Granderson Stadium.

Although UIC lost the game, the Flames are back on top of the Horizon League after winning the other two games in the series. Killeen, who was vice chancellor for research and president of the Research Foundation of the State University of New York, officially becomes U of I president May 18.
