BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- WKU softball picked up a crucial victory Sunday afternoon as the Lady Toppers clinched the weekend Conference USA series over rival Middle Tennessee (20-19, 5-7 C-USA) after edging the Blue Raiders, 5-4, at the WKU Softball Complex.
After sitting through a nearly one hour rain delay, WKU jumped out to a quick 2-0 advantage in the home half of the first inning as a pair of two-out MT errors drove in rookies Bryce Holmgren and Kelsey McGuffin. The duo reached base earlier in the inning after Holmgren took first after being hit and McGuffin knocked a double to left center field.
