CARBONDALE, IL – During the regular-season series at Dozer Park, Bradley limited the top offense in the Missouri Valley Conference to eight runs in a 3-games-to-1 series victory against Southern Illinois. The Salukis (39-18) apparently were saving up for the rematch in the Missouri Valley Conference Baseball Championship, erupting for seven in runs in the fourth inning on the way to a 13-1 win against the third-seeded Braves (20-21) Wednesday night in the final game of the first round at Itchy Jones Stadium.
Forced to face the home team and one of the nation's top offenses in the first round, Bradley now must take on MVC regular-season champion Dallas Baptist in Thursday's 2:30 p.
