NORMAL, Ill. - Due to steady rainfall in the Bloomington-Normal area, Missouri State's Saturday Missouri Valley Conference game against Illinois State has been moved back to a 3 p.m. start.

The Bears rallied for an 8-3 victory in Friday's series opener against the Redbirds, scoring the tying run in the ninth inning before pushing across five runs in the decisive 10th frame. The two clubs are slated to square off again Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. in the final game of the series at Duffy Bass Field.
