PEORIA, Ill. -- Bradley Softball hits the road for the third weekend in a row, wrapping up a stretch in which the Braves will play nine of 10 games away from home with a three-game Missouri Valley Conference weekend series at Missouri State. The series gets underway Saturday with a noon doubleheader at Killian Stadium in Springfield, Mo., and concludes Sunday with a single game at 11 a.m.
Missouri State (23-15 overall, 8-4 MVC) enters the weekend second in the Valley standings at 8-4 after sweeping Evansville last weekend. Bradley (15-20 overall, 4-6 MVC) took two of three games at Indiana State last week and is currently tied with Southern Illinois for sixth in the standings at 4-6, one game out of a tie for third place.
