PEORIA, Ill. – Senior Grace French took a perfect game into the fourth and gave up just three hits to help Bradley take the series opener against Evansville 10-1, but the Aces rebounded for a 7-3 victory in the nightcap as the teams split a Missouri Valley Conference doubleheader Saturday afternoon at Petersen Hotels Field at the Louisville Slugger Sports Complex.

French earned her team-best eighth victory of the year, giving up one run and three hits in the opener, while fellow senior Keeler van Breusegen went 2-for-2 with a run and three RBI to help highlight the 10-1 Bradley victory to start the day.
