1962 Missouri Valley Conference Tournament

From BR Bullpen

The 1962 Missouri Valley Conference baseball tournament was held May 10 in Peoria, IL and May 19 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, MO. Bradley University defeated Saint Louis University for the title.

The tournament was scheduled to be a double elimination tournament, but rain washed out the second day of games forcing a format change to single elimination. Rain washed out the third day of games causing a move to St, Louis a week later.
