Box Score

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee put together a commanding performance on Tuesday afternoon, overwhelming Belmont 11–2 at E.S. Rose Park.

After four scoreless innings, MTSU (17-20) broke the game open in the fifth with a three-run rally sparked by back-to-back singles and aggressive baserunning. They tacked on another run in the sixth before exploding for five more in the seventh, effectively putting the game out of reach. Two insurance runs in the ninth sealed the deal.

The Blue Raiders' offense was relentless, collecting 16 hits and drawing 7 walks. Brett Rogers led the team with four hits and four RBIs, while Keaton Ray added two hits and drove in three. Brett Vondohlen and Tyler Minnick both chipped in with three hits apiece, with Minnick also scoring three runs.

On the mound, six MTSU pitchers combined to hold Belmont to two runs despite allowing 12 hits. Starter Bryant Beranek earned the win, throwing three scoreless innings to set the tone early. The bullpen backed him up with solid outings, including a scoreless frame from Landen Burch and a clean ninth inning by Jack Fortner.

With the win, MTSU improved to 17–20 on the season and demonstrated strong depth both at the plate and on the mound.
