Blue Raiders set for Columbia State Tournament
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Four months after closing out the 2019 campaign with the program's third visit to the postseason, Middle Tennessee's softball team will open its fall schedule Saturday at the Columbia State Tournament.
Ridley Sports Complex in Columbia, Tennessee will be the site of MT's two games on Saturday, including a 9 a.m. start against Calhoun Community College followed by an 11 a.m. game against Motlow State.
Calhoun will be looking to improve on its 25-27-1 record from a season ago. The Lady Warhawks gave up a program record for hits and runs in a season by an opponent in the 2019 season. However, they proved to have some spark in their bats, as their 43 home runs in the spring were also a program record.
MT's second opponent of the day, Motlow State, posted a 26-21 record in the spring. The Bucks will lose their leading hitter and each of their top three pitchers heading into next season. Despite being led by sophomores last season, Motlow carried 15 freshmen on its roster who will move into leadership roles this season.
The Alumni Day tailgate prior to MT's football game vs. Duke is still set to begin once the Blue Raiders return to campus following their doubleheader in Columbia.
