DALLAS – Three Bradley pitchers combined on a 4-hit gem, while Jean-Francois Garon homered and Andy Shadid hit a run-scoring triple in the seventh inning, leading the Braves (24-10, 4-3 MVC) to a 2-1 win at Dallas Baptist (25-12, 4-3 MVC) to open a 3-game Missouri Valley Conference series Friday evening at Horner Ballpark.
Theron Denlinger worked out of a ninth-inning jam to nail down Bradley's 12th consecutive game, equaling the second-longest winning streak in program history. The Braves, who extended the longest active winning streak in the nation, last won 12 consecutive games from March 19-April 7, 1993.
