MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — With the Conference USA slate beginning in just over two weeks, Middle Tennessee stays in-state this week to work towards finalizing a starting lineup that will lead the Blue Raiders in their push for another league championship.
Game 20: Middle Tennessee (9-10, 0-0 C-USA) at Austin Peay (8-4, 3-2 OVC)

About the Blue Raiders
» MT is coming off a third place finish at its MTSU Invitational after Corrina Dodd shut out Dayton on Sunday, 3-0.
» Dodd finished the weekend with a 0.00 ERA in 14.1 innings pitched to drop her season ERA to 0.92, the best mark in C-USA and No. 23 nationally among pitchers with at least 30.0 innings pitched.
» Amaya Harris (.333, 11 hits), Kelci Hill (.321, 18 hits) and Ryan King (.320, 8 hits) are the only three Blue Raiders with a batting average over .300.
» Junior catcher Hailey Bosley earned two starts in the MTSU Invitational and slugged her first career homer, a three-run blast, against North Dakota State on Saturday night.
» MT is currently first in C-USA and 34th nationally in stolen bases per game at 1.79. Freshman Jaya Herring leads in that department with eight bags swiped in nine attempts.
» Summer Burgess enters the midweek matchup with 239 career hits, just five short of becoming the program's all-time hits leader. She's also two singles away from a new program record.
All-time vs. Austin Peay
» Middle Tennessee holds a 34-18 lead in the all-time series over Austin Peay, including a 12-7 mark in Clarksville.
» Head coach Jeff Breeden is 5-2 against Austin Peay in his tenure with the Blue Raiders.
» The Governors won a 10-6 decision over MT in the most recent matchup between the two teams, a late February midweek night game in 2019.
Scouting the Governors
» Austin Peay wrapped up its second Ohio Valley Conference series of the season on Monday with a three-game sweep over Morehead State.
» The Govs boast a pair of wins this season over Mercer, one of MT's opponents this weekend.
» Shortstop Brooke Pfefferle leads her team with 15 hits and a .429 batting average. Claire Smith and Kaylee Richetto were teammates of Pfefferle's at Wilson Central High School in Lebanon, Tennessee.
» Harley Mullins leads all Austin Peay pitchers with 44.2 innings pitched and 23 strikeouts, but Kelsey Gross leads the Govs with a 4-0 record and a 1.38 ERA.
Next Time Out
» MT returns to Murfreesboro to host Western Illinois and Mercer on Saturday and Sunday.
