MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee softball dominated the early innings and survived a late rally, easing past Florida Atlantic 4-3 at Blue Raider Softball Field to tie the Conference USA series on Saturday.
The Blue Raiders (24-9, 5-3 C-USA) allowed one unearned run in the top of the first and went unblemished for the next five frames, holding the Owls (22-13, 4-4 C-USA) to just three hits in the middle five innings on the afternoon. Kamryn Carcich continued her sterling season, throwing a complete game with two strikeouts and just one walk, with only one of FAU's three runs against her being earned.
