MURFREESBORO, Tenn.— With the threat of rain in the forecast, conditions were perfect for another pitching duel at Reese Smith Field Saturday afternoon. Up until the latter third of the game, we had just that, with both starters going for at least seven innings and allowing no more than four runs. Unfortunately for Middle Tennessee (18-32, 11-15), starter Peyton Wigginton couldn't get the run support he needed in his 7.1 innings of work, as the Blue Raiders fell to FIU (21-29, 10-16) by a score of 7-3.
"Wigginton pitched well, but you're not going to win to many games when you're out-hit 13 to five," said Head Coach Jim Toman.
