Western Illinois (15-22) vs. Bradley (15-22)
Date:	April 23
Site:	Macomb, Ill. / Alfred D. Boyer Stadium
Game Times:	4 p.m.

Watch Live: Tuesday's game will be streamed live via Twitter (@WIUBaseball) with Conor Fredland and Bradley Motton on the call.

Back on Track: Prior to the 13-3 setback a week ago, WIU was working a three-game winning streak over SIUE; two of those wins occurred inside Alfred D. Boyer Stadium.

Western's Last Outing: The series may have gone to South Dakota State, but Western made things quite interesting in the Saturday doubleheader. CJ Schaeffer Jr. homered twice to spark a Leatherneck rally in its 11-9 lose, and again in the finale where his team came from behind to win 7-6 in extra innings.

• Schaeffer Jr. guided the team with a series-best .462 batting average (6-for-13) and seven RBI; all four of his home runs this year have been against the Jackrabbits
• Diego Munoz recorded his first collegiate home run in the series finale to pull Western within a run in the ninth inning of the 10-inning victory
• Alex Dorethy earned his first win of the season as he struck out five of the seven batters faced

Next Up: Western begins its seven-game road trip at North Dakota State (April 26-28).
