FORT MYERS, FLA. – Middle Tennessee (1-1) began the 2016 season with a split of their two games on Friday at the FGCU Kickoff Classic. The Blue Raiders began the night with a heartbreaking walk-off loss to Michigan State (1-0) 3-2, before capturing a win in their night-cap 4-2 over the host FGCU (0-1).
The Spartans got off to a quick start as lead-off hitter Lea Foerster doubled to begin the bottom of the first. McKenzie Long attempted to sacrifice Foerster to second, but an error on Danielle Munoz allowed Long to reach and Foerster to score the game's first run.
