MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Less than 24 hours after a 10-run loss to the LA Tech Bulldogs, Middle Tennessee evened the series in style at Reese Smith Jr. Field over its Conference USA foe on Saturday afternoon, jumping out to an 11-run lead after three innings en route to an 12-8 win.
The Blue Raiders move to 21-19 and 11-9 in C-USA with the victory.
The first four batters of the game all reached base for the Blue Raiders, as they set the tone with a five-run first. Jeremiah Boyd and DJ Wright singled to drive in runs, Jackson Galloway had a sacrifice fly, Gabe Jennings walked with the bases loaded and Luke Vinson had an RBI groundout as MTSU batted around and forced the Bulldogs to go to the bullpen early.
