WKU (16-17), (6-7, C-USA) began their four game series against the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders (17-14-1), (6-6-1, C-USA) on a cloudy Friday afternoon. The Hilltoppers fell 7-5 on Friday night to kick off the weekend series.
“I thought that we did a really good job of getting ourselves back in the ballgame when we're down six nothing,” head coach John Pawlowski said. “We just didn’t have anything to overcome that two run deficit in the ninth.”
WKU’s sophomore Jackson Gray went 2-for-4 with a two-run homerun in the bottom of the sixth frame.
MTSU freshman Jacob Williams went 2-for-5 hitting his first homerun of the season in the top of the third inning.
