Murfreesboro, Tenn.— Middle Tennessee starter Carson Lester came back to the dugout and shook his head. He worked out of a bases-loaded jam to end the game's opening frame, but surrendered two runs in the process. The Blue Raiders were staring an early deficit in the face for the second time this week, Once again MTSU laughed at the face of the deficit that was staring them down, exploding for six runs in the game's first two innings to defeat the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers 13-4.
"We showed some resiliency tonight," said Head Coach Jim Toman.
