EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Freshman Grace French gave up just one hit in a complete game effort in the first game, while fellow freshman Lucy Mead went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a RBI double in the nightcap as the duo helped Bradley Softball sweep a doubleheader at Evansville Saturday with 3-1 and 4-2 victories.
Bradley (22-15 overall, 9-5 MVC) ran its road win streak to a school-record 10 consecutive games and has won four consecutive outings with the doubleheader sweep. The Braves have 22 wins in a season for the first time since 2015 (22) in addition to the nine league victories matching last year's conference win total as Bradley moved into fifth in the MVC regular-season standings.
