MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders had a three-run ninth inning to open its 2022-23 fall season against the Volunteer State Community College Pioneers to take a 6-5 lead on Wednesday evening. Pitcher Gretchen Mead then closed the game on the mound, and MTSU held on in the final inning of the 10-inning contest to win at the Blue Raider Softball Field.
Kamryn Carcich roped a line drive to shallow right field in the bottom of the ninth to bring the Raiders within a run, before Abby Shoulders sent another liner to right to drive the go-ahead runs home.
