JACKSONVILLE, Ala. – Middle Tennessee Softball heads to Jax State for another three-game Conference USA series. The Blue Raiders and Gamecocks are slated to face off for game one at 6:00 p.m. CT on Friday, April 24.

Blue Raider Notes

Onnika Spencer had a phenomenal two games against Memphis in Middle Tennessee's doubleheader with the Tigers. Spencer went five-for-five with two home runs and four RBI across both games.
Macie Harter is dominating on both sides of the ball for the Blue Raiders. The sophomore left fielder currently leads all of Division 1 in defensive runs saved with 18.6. Not only is Harter a rock defensively, but she leads Middle Tennessee in stolen bases (19), on-base percentage (.457), runs scored (32) and doubles (12).
The Blue Raiders walked off their second game of the year against Memphis in game one against the Tigers. Ansley Blevins launched her 11th home run of the season over the fence in the bottom of the seventh inning to seal the deal for Middle Tennessee.
Braelyn Hall is coming off of a stunning performance against New Mexico State in Middle Tennessee's most recent CUSA series. Hall tossed two complete 7.0 inning games where she allowed just nine hits and four earned runs, striking out 15 batters to record a 2.00 ERA and a .191 opponent batting average.
