Baseball 2026

After winning the first game of the weekend series at Belmont 13-8 on Friday, Bradley lost Saturday 8-0, and again today, Sunday, 12-11.
The Sunday game looks like it was quite unusual. Bradley fell behind 9-0 after 3 innings, but then scored 11 runs in the 4th to take an 11-9 lead.
But Bradley did not score again, and Belmont scored 2 in the 8th and 1 in the 9th to win 12-11.

Bradley plays at Illinois in Champaign on Tuesday.
 
Yes, from watching the broadcast, Sunday's game was insane. Down 9-0, then we score 11, then we loaded the bases in the 9th without scoring, then gave up a run in the 9th to lose. As usual, we were way short of pitching.

It's good to get one win on the road, but we had opportunities to win two or three. Next year...
 
Bradley got a win today in Boiling Springs, NC, on the campus of Gardner-Webb Univ. They beat Campbell University 5-4 to improve to 10-43.

Bradley is now 5-16 in the MVC and in 8th place, 4 games behind the

The 2026 MVC Tournament underwent a change in the format for 2026. In previous years, the top 8 teams played in an 8-team, double-elimination format. However, this year, only the top 6 teams qualify, and the double-elimination bracket was changed-

That means the Braves have already been eliminated from the tournament.
The Braves play their last 3 scheduled games Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at home against 1st place UIC.
