ST. LOUIS – Bradley senior centerfielder Andy Shadid (Peoria, IL/Notre Dame H.S.) drove in the game-winning runs in the 10th inning during each of the team's two wins last week and he has been recognized for his efforts with the Missouri Valley Conference Player-of-the-Week award, according to an announcement from the league office Monday afternoon.

In the opening day of the SAF Dirt Classic, Shadid helped the Braves (4-2) to a 5-3 win Thursday at Austin Peay by coming through with a 2-out, 2-run single in the top of the 10th inning. In the closing game of the weekend, Shadid again came through in the 10th inning, driving in the deciding run of a 2-1 victory at Middle Tennessee State with a 1-out triple.

Bradley's fourth-year starter in center field, Shadid is Bradley's active leader with 157 career games played, 54 extra-base hits and 97 RBI's. He has been selected honorable mention All-Missouri Valley Conference after each of the least two seasons and he was named to the league's All-Defense team in 2016 and 2018. The weekly honor is his first and he is Bradley's first Valley Player of the Week since junior 3B Brendan Dougherty was recognized Feb. 19, 2018.

The Braves have won 2-of-3 games in each of the season's first two weekends, winning the season-opening road series at Central Arkansas prior to this past weekend's venture to Tennessee. Bradley will visit UTSA for a 3-game series in San Antonio, beginning with a 6 p.m. start Friday night.
