Bradley to play in NCAA Baseball Championship

The public is invited to attend Bradley's final practice at Dozer Park before the Braves head to Louisville for the weekend's NCAA Baseball Regional.

The Braves practice at 11:00 AM Wednesday and will depart from the stadium at approximately 1:30.

Bradley is making its seventh all-time appearance in the NCAA Baseball Championship, but the first since 1968.  The team holds a season record of 35-19.

Bradley was the final team announced during the tournament selection show Monday morning on ESPN-U. The team is the No. 2 seed in the Louisville Regional and faces third-seeded Michigan in the 1:00 PM regional opener Friday at Louisville's Jim Patterson Stadium.

Bradley Shortstop Tyler Leffler was also selected for the 2015 Missouri Valley Conference All-Tournament Team.
