Game Recap: Baseball |
A seven-run fifth inning led visiting Illinois State to a 14-1 victory against the Bradley baseball team on Saturday night at Dozer Park. The Braves are now 29-16 overall during the season with a 9-8 Missouri Valley Conference record, while the Redbirds improve to 30-20 and 12-5 in league action.
 
The teams played an even first four innings with each school plating one run. Illinois State scored off an error in the top of the first with Bradley responding in the bottom of the fourth when Eli Rawlinson hit a sacrifice fly.
 
Illinois State, however, would open up the game with seven runs in the top of the fifth. The Redbirds grabbed the lead for good with a three-run homer and then added another three runs with a pair of singles before finishing the frame with a double-steal attempt that scored one.
 
The Redbirds added two runs in the seventh and four in the ninth for the 14-1 final score.
 
Ben Olson took the loss on the mound for the Braves, allowing four earned runs in 4.1 innings of work. Matt Walker earned the win for Illinois State with five innings of work, yielding just one run.
 
The schools wrap up the series tomorrow afternoon with first pitch at Dozer Park set for 1 p.m.
