Peoria, IL – Bradley University hosted its annual Alumni Weekend, featuring the 2025 Bradley Baseball team in an exciting match up that highlighted the best turnout of alumni in the event's history.
 

The weekend started off with a golf outing at Coyote Creek, which was followed by a dinner at Dozer Park. The weekend culminated in the annual alumni scrimmage, where the Braves current roster faced off against former players.

The event served as a reminder of the rich history and tradition of Bradley Baseball, uniting past and present players in a shared passion for the game.
