SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Senior Grace French belted a pair of homers, driving in all four of Bradley's runs, and scattered six singles in a complete game victory as the Braves topped Loyola 4-1 in the second round of the 2022 Missouri Valley Conference Championship Thursday at Missouri State's Killian Stadium.
With the victory, Bradley (26-25 overall) advances to this afternoon's 4 p.m. third-round game against #4 seed Drake.
