OMAHA, Neb. -
Illinois State's State Farm Missouri Valley Conference Baseball Tournament game against Evansville, originally scheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday, has been pushed back to a 12:30 p.m. start at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Neb.
Tuesday night's scheduled game between top-seeded Creighton and No. 8 Bradley was postponed for Wednesday morning due to poor weather conditions, forcing the Redbirds-Purple Aces matchup to be moved to 12:30 p.m. The loser of the third-seeded Illinois State versus No. 7 Evansville game will be eliminated from the tournament.
The Redbirds lost to Indiana State, 5-2, in Tuesday's State Farm MVC Tournament opener, while the Purple Aces fell, 2-1, to Wichita State. ISU's Dan Savas (3-4, 4.02 ERA) is expected to face Evansville's Kyle Lloyd (4-6, 4.76 ERA) Wednesday afternoon.
