PEORIA, Ill. -- The Bradley Baseball team will kick off its regular-season-ending, 4-game home stand with matinee action Tuesday when the Braves (22-26) host Eastern Illinois (17-30) in a noon non-conference tilt at O'Brien Field.

Bradley has won seven of its last eight meetings against its in-state rival, but the teams have not met in Peoria since the Braves cruised to an 11-4 victory April 23, 2008.  Dating back to 1922, Eastern Illinois owns a 42-36 record against the Braves and the teams have split the 36 all-time meetings in Peoria.
