Illinois State baseball is gearing up for a busy week ahead after securing their first MVC series win. The team will host Iowa on Tuesday before heading to Edwardsville to face SIUE on Wednesday. Iowa comes into the matchup with a strong 14-8 record, while SIUE has won their last four games. Freshman Brayden Bakes had an impressive three-home run, six RBI performance in a recent game, becoming the first Redbird to achieve this since 2022.
Illinois State recently secured their first MVC series win by defeating Belmont in two out of three games. The team has been selected to finish fourth in the Preseason MVC Coaches’ Poll and has three players on the MVC Preseason All-Conference Team. The Missouri Valley Conference Championships will be held at Duffy Bass Field, marking the first time Illinois State will host since 2019. Up next for the Redbirds is a three-game series against Murray State following their midweek matchups. Stay updated on Illinois State Baseball through their website and social media channels.
