Bradley Outlasts Illinois

Bradley hit six home runs Tuesday to beat the Illinois baseball team 12-8 at Illinois Field. 


Bradley (23-10) extended its winning streak to 11 games, the longest active streak in the nation. The Braves' six homers tied for the fourth-most home runs in Bradley history.

 

Illinois hit three home runs in the fourth inning to take an 8-7 lead but was blanked over the next five innings. 

 

Illinois (22-13) got homers from Grant Van Scoy, Jacob Campbell and Michael Massey in the span of four batters in the fourth. Van Scoy had three hits in the game, while Massey, Ben Troike and Cam McDonald added two apiece. 

 

Van Scoy extended his career-long reached base streak to 18 games.

The Illini are home again this weekend, hosting Penn State for a Big Ten series Friday-Sunday. Bradley and Illinois are scheduled to play again next Tuesday at Dozer Park in Peoria, Illinois.
