PEORIA, Ill. - The start of today's Bradley Baseball home-opener versus Purdue will start an hour earlier than originally scheduled due to the afternoon and evening weather forecast.  First pitch between the Braves (13-6) and visiting Boilermakers (14-7) is now slated for 4 o'clock at O'Brien Field.

Due to the late notice of the time change and in recognition of the chilly temperatures, Bradley will not be charging admission for today's game.
