Blue Raiders drop series finale with UAB, 10-7
3/19/2023 3:57:00 PM | Softball
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee softball drops the finals game of the series with UAB by a score of 10-7 on Sunday.
The Blue Raider defense totaled five errors on the day, allowing the Blazers to take advantage with a few runs.
UAB scored two early runs in the top of the first today to claim the lead they held most of the game. The Blue Raiders got one run across in the bottom of the first, off an RBI from Ava Tepe.
Heading into the third inning the game was all tied up at three after Amaya Harris hit a two-RBI single. The errors plagued MTSU in the fourth allowing UAB to score four more runs.
The Blue Raiders went for their late game push in sixth after Shelby Sargent scored two with a single to make the score 10-7. Their comeback effort fell short on Sunday, but MTSU had already won the weekend series over the Blazers.
By the Numbers
· Five errors in a single game is the most by the Blue Raiders all season.
· The Blue Raiders win their first conference series over UAB, two games to one.
Quote from Head Coach Jeff Breeden
"The weather conditions were really tough today, but that's not an excuse because both teams played in it. We just got beat today, our defense was not our typical good defense we have been playing."
Up Next
MTSU is back in action again on March 22 hosting Central Arkansas. First pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m. CT.
