Box Score DALLAS – Bradley Baseball came out swinging in its Missouri Valley Conference showdown against No. 28 Dallas Baptist and the Braves came away from the first of consecutive doubleheaders against the league-leading Patriots with a split Friday night at Horner Ballpark.
With the teams combining for nine home runs on the day, the Braves (17-18, 9-8 MVC) took the series opener, 8-4, but host DBU came back for a 5-2 win in the 7-inning nightcap. In a continued effort to beat a late weekend rain forecast, the teams will play another doubleheader Saturday, a pair of 9-inning games to begin at 2 o'clock at Horner Ballpark.
