NORMAL, Ill. – The final game of the split midweek conference series between Illinois State and Bradley was decided early in the contest, as the Redbirds (19-26, 12-8 MVC) scored seven runs over the first two innings to pick up a 7-3 win over the Braves (19-28, 8-13 MVC) to secure the series sweep over their I-74 rivals.
Outfielder Julia Larson was the offensive standout for the Redbirds, as recorded a double and a triple and drove in five runs for ISU. The win gave the Redbirds their second MVC series sweep, following a three-game sweep of Valparaiso earlier this season.
