Salukis play big series against Bradley Braves

SIUC plays what may be its most important series of the season as it closes its home schedule this weekend.

The Salukis are fighting for a spot in the Missouri Valley Conference. This weekend, SIUC will be playing Bradley University, who is chasing them for the sixth and final slot in the tournament.

SIUC has a three-game losing streak going into the weekend series and is looking to keep sixth place.

This weekend probably becomes the most pivotal weekend of the season as far as qualifying for the conference tournament, baseball coach Dan Callahan said. At the same time, the way this conference works, we could win all four games this weekend or lose all these games and we’ve got eight games remaining a lot can happen in two weekends in this conference.

The Salukis play the Braves in two doubleheaders, both beginning at noon Saturday and Sunday at Abe Martin Field.
