NORMAL, Ill. - Missouri State will have to wait another day to begin play at the Missouri Valley Conference Baseball Championship.

The second-seeded Bears' Wednesday night game against fifth-seeded Illinois State will now take place at Thursday at Duffy Bass Field, time TBD, as Wednesday's schedule was delayed by lengthy games that prevented the final contest from starting before the 10 p.m. curfew.

The updated start time will be posted to the baseball schedule page at MissouriStateBears.com.
