Bears Win MVC Title

Brayden Drake's (my wife's brother) tear through the last couple of weeks of Missouri Valley Conference's regular season continued this weekend as Mo-State swept Indiana State on its way to winning the outright MVC regular season championship and securing the #1 seed in the MVC tournament coming up this weekend in Wichita.

Brayden went 8 for 13 in the three game set with 1 HR, 2 - 2Bs, 7 RBIs, and 4 runs scored. He finished the regular season batting .418 (which leads the MVC).

The Bears take on Illinois State on Wednesday, Southern Illinois on Thursday, and Creighton on Friday. Wins in 2 of those three contests would likely put them in the MVC tournament championship on Saturday night versus the winner from the other "pod" (likely Indiana State or Wichita State - my money is on the home team that gets all the 7pm games).
