Baseball Busts Out Big Sticks to Clinch Series Win at Missouri State

SPRINGFIELD, MO – Bradley exploded for 14 runs in the last three innings and finished with 12 extra base hits in the game to earn their second come-from-behind win of the weekend against host Missouri State, the latest a 16-9 victory Saturday afternoon at Hammons Field.

Rallying from 5-2 and 9-7 deficits, the Braves (26-13, 6-5 MVC) secured just their second road series win all-time against Missouri State (13-29, 4-7 MVC). Bradley's only other series win at Missouri State came in 1993, when the Braves swept a doubleheader. The Braves will try to top that 2-game sweep 26 years ago when they play for the 3-game weekend sweep Sunday.
