MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — The road portion of Middle Tennessee's home-and-home with Jacksonville State takes place Tuesday afternoon as the Blue Raiders wrap up a six-game road swing and hope to get back in the win column.
Game 31: Middle Tennessee (15-15, 1-3 C-USA) at Jacksonville State (11-16, 10-7 OVC)
» Tuesday, April 6 | 3 p.m. CT
About the Blue Raiders
» After dropping three games of a four-game set at Charlotte to open Conference USA play, MT hopes to rebound in the midweek affair at Jacksonville State.
» The 1-2 punch of Summer Burgess (.343 avg; .510 slg%) and Kelci Hill (.351 avg) leads the Blue Raiders at the top of the order.
» Hill's five sacrifice flies ties her with Danielle DeCamino (2003) for most sac flies in a single season, and it ties her for fifth all-time in sac flies in a career.
» Early innings are crucial for the Blue Raiders, who are 10-2 when scoring first and 0-9 when the opponent scores in the first inning.
» MT is first in C-USA with 46 stolen bases as a team, led by freshman Jaya Herring with a 10-for-11 mark on the basepaths.
» Corrina Dodd leads MT with a 2.37 ERA and ties with Amber Baldwin in appearances with 13.
» Defensively, the Blue Raiders lead the league with a fielding percentage of .967. The last time MT led C-USA in fielding percentage after a full season was the championship season of 2018.
All-time vs. Jacksonville State
» Middle Tennessee is now just two games under .500 against the Gamecocks after winning via run-rule, 11-2, in Murfreesboro on March 24.
» Jacksonville State maintains a 10-8 all-time lead in the series entering Tuesday's game and a 4-3 record when playing in Jacksonville.
Scouting the Gamecocks
» Jacksonville State has gone on a hot streak since losing in Murfreesboro, as the Gamecocks are winners of six in a row coming into this week.
» Most recently, JSU swept Murray State and invoked the mercy rule in two of the three games.
» Jada Terry (.358 avg, 22 RBIs) and Karsen Mosley (.356 avg, 14 RBIs) are the team's top two threats in the batter's box.
» Four pitchers saw time in the circle against the Blue Raiders in the previous meeting, but Reagan Watkins (2.99 ERA) still leads the team with 77.1 innings pitched in 16 appearances.
Next Time Out
» MT hosts a Conference USA series for the first time this season when the Blue Raiders take on Marshall on April 9-11.
