Braves Top Indiana State 8-6 In Series Opener

PEORIA, Ill. – Sophomore Taise Thompson hit a pair of homers and freshman Keeler van Breusegen went 3-for-3 with two runs as the pair helped power Bradley Softball to an 8-6 victory over Indiana State in the series opener Saturday afternoon at Petersen Hotels Field at the Louisville Slugger Sports Complex.

The teams were able to play just one game Saturday rather than the scheduled doubleheader due to rain in the Peoria area and will now close the series with an 11 a.m. doubleheader Sunday.

Thompson slugged her fifth and sixth homers of the season in a 2-for-2 outing as she scored twice and drove in three runs.
