PEORIA, IL – After rallying for a 5-3 win in the Missouri Valley Conference opener for both teams, Bradley (9-6, 2-0 MVC) turned in a record-setting offensive performance in the night cap, a 16-1 rout, to complete a doubleheader sweep against Valparaiso (4-11, 0-2 MVC) Saturday afternoon at Petersen Hotels Field.
The 16 runs in the 5-innings second game equaled the most the Braves have ever scored in a Valley game (16-4 win against Indiana State March 19, 2016) and the 15-run margin of victory is Bradley's best ever against a MVC foe, topping a 13-0 victory against Wichita State in the second game of a doubleheader April 19, 1985.
