Murfreesboro, Tenn.-- Carson Lester took the mound on a gorgeous Friday afternoon at Reese Smith Field in search of his first win of the season. The senior gave his team one of his best performances thus far, going eight innings while giving up only two earned runs and matching his season-high in strikeouts with seven. However, the Murfreesboro native's effort wasn't enough to get him in the win column, as Middle Tennessee couldn't get the bats going in a 5-1 loss to Louisiana Tech.
"Lester competed for eight innings and did really well," said MTSU Head Coach Jim Toman.
