Patriots Advance to Third Straight MVC Title Game With 11-1 Victory Over Bradley

THE RUNDOWN
No. 2 DBU locked up a trip to the championship game of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament with an 11-1 walkoff victory in seven innings against No. 3 Bradley on Saturday.

Jordan Martinson went the distance in his longest outing of the season, holding the Braves (32-19) to one run on five hits with one walk and four strikeouts. The only runner he allowed past second base was the lone Bradley run in the fifth inning.

Offensively, the Patriots (40-18) jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the first with the benefit of five walks, two of which came with the bases loaded, and two hits, including a two-run single by Blayne Jones.

DBU finished off Bradley with a four-run rally in the bottom of the seventh. Garrett Wolforth and Tim Millard started the inning with back-to-back doubles. Matt Duce followed with an RBI single. Jameson Hannah's two-run double pushed across the game-ending run.
