PEORIA, IL – Bradley senior RHP Mitch Janssen allowed just three hits in his first career complete game and senior CF Andy Shadid blasted a 3-run home run, leading the Braves (20-10, 1-3 MVC) to their eighth consecutive victory, an 8-0 romp versus Southern Illinois (17-13, 1-3 MVC) in the opening game of their Missouri Valley Conference weekend series Friday night at Dozer Park.
Bradley is unbeaten in April and its current 8-game winning streak is the team's longest since a similar 8-gamer from April 13-25, 2018. The team's 7-game winning streak at Dozer Park, however, matches Bradley's longest in its 17 years playing in the downtown Peoria stadium, first achieved from April 23-29, 2008.
