Bradley Baseball Claims Series with 8-7 Victory

W: Catton, Taylor (2-1) L: ODOM (0-1)

Cookeville, Tenn. – Junior Connor O'Brien collected his first career five-hit game to lead the Bradley baseball team to an 8-7 victory at Tennessee Tech on Sunday afternoon. The Braves, who earned the series victory in their final road non-conference set of the season, improve to 7-12 on the year, while the Golden Eagles drop to 15-7 after their second loss in three games to the Braves.

O'Brien, who extended his career-best hitting streak to 14 games, is the first Brave to tally five hits in a game since former teammate Luke Shadid did so in 2019 against UNLV.
