Missouri State baseball's Cinderella run through the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament continued with a beatdown of Bradley on Friday afternoon.
The sixth-seeded Bears exploded for a 19-3 seven-inning run-rule win to eliminate the Braves at Hammons Field. The Bears are now scheduled to play on Saturday at 3 p.m. against the winner of Thursday night's game between No. 2 Evansville and No. 3 Dallas Baptist.
If the Bears fall in Saturday's 3 p.m. game, they will play an elimination game right after. A win on Saturday would put Missouri State in Sunday's noon championship.
