MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – In a hard-fought game on both sides of the field, the Middle Tennessee baseball team tied with Rice, 9-9, in the series finale on Saturday. This was the seventh extra inning game the Blue Raiders (15-11-1, C-USA 4-3-1) have played in this season and the first tie for the MT since April 15, 2018, strangely enough also against Rice (13-14-1, C-USA 2-5-1).
"I'm disappointed that we didn't win the game, I thought a couple of times we had it won," said Head Coach Jim Toman. "I proud of the guys, we fought back twice to tie [the game] when we were behind in the last inning, but we couldn't get the big hit.
