Game Recap: Baseball |
Normal, Ill. – The Bradley baseball team dropped the second game of a three-game set at Illinois State with the host Redbirds claiming a 9-3 victory. Bradley is now 12-20 on the season with a 4-4 record in Missouri Valley play, while ISU improves to 15-18 and 3-5 versus league foes.
 
Senior Keaton Rice led Bradley with three hits and two RBI on the day, while junior Connor O'Brien also added a pair of hits.
 
Illinois State hit its spots in the first frame to take a lead it would not relinquish. The Redbirds connected on four singles through the infield before a two-run double for a 4-0 advantage.
 
Bradley pulled one back in the second when freshman Jack Lincoln hit a sacrifice fly but the hosts would take advantage of an error in the bottom half of the inning for two unearned runs and a 6-1 lead.
 
The Braves attempted to fight back, loading the bases in the fifth inning. Rice would hit a double to right center that scored two but the inning ended when a BU runner was thrown out at home on the play for the 6-3 tally. Illinois State would then seal the victory with three more unearned runs – two in the sixth and one in the eighth – for the 9-3 final score.
 
The rubber game of the I-74 Rivalry is set for tomorrow afternoon at 1 p.m.
