MARTIN, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee baseball would not be denied on Saturday, striking first and never letting off the gas in a 17-8 rout of UT Martin at Skyhawk Baseball Field.
The Blue Raiders (4-6) grabbed the momentum early, scoring two runs off Skyhawk errors in the top of the first. The bats stayed hot in the top of the third, with a Briggs Rutter single and Brady Holloway double setting up RBIs from Jackson Galloway and Trace Phillips to stretch the lead to 4-0, before the Skyhawks (5-6) were able to cut into the lead with a pair of runs in the bottom half.
