MT falls in first game against Southern Miss
4/26/2019 9:00:00 PM | Baseball
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – A big inning proved to be Middle Tennessee's downfall Friday night.
Â
In the first of a three-game series against visiting Southern Miss (27-13, 15-4), the Blue Raiders (16-26, 9-10) battled for most of the game but fell 7-1 after allowing a five-run sixth inning.
Â
For the game's first five innings, MT senior starter Carson Lester held the high-powered Golden Eagle offense at bay. He surrendered just a single run heading into the sixth before Conference USA's third-highest scoring team found its stride.
Â
The visitors benefited from a solo home run then two run-scoring singles, a sacrifice fly and RBI double, plating five runs in the frame to break open a 6-1 advantage.
Â
Before Southern Miss' outburst, the game was knotted at 1 thanks to Middle Tennessee sophomore Brycen Thomas.
Â
With the blue and white trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the second, the big first baseman put a charge into an 0-1 pitch, sending it over the wall in left for his third blast of the season.
Â
Thomas' home run was one of six hits in the game for the Blue Raiders against USM starter Walker Powell, who went a complete game. Myles Christian, Nick Carnevale, Aaron Antonini, Blake Benefield and JT Mabry had the other hits.
Â
On the bump, Lester lasted 5 1/3 innings, allowing six runs on 11 hits while striking out one batter and walking one. Junior Grant Williams came in for 3 2/3 innings of relief, allowing six hits and an earned run.
Â
Middle Tennessee will try to take down the C-USA-leading Golden Eagles in the second game of the weekend series on Saturday at 4 p.m. at Reese Smith Jr. Field.
