MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee baseball dropped game two of the series to Western Kentucky 4-3 on Saturday afternoon at Reese Smith Jr. Field.
The Blue Raiders (14-28, 5-12 C-USA) got off to a hot start, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first off back to back home runs by Briggs Rutter and Trace Phillips. Both homers took advantage of the wind blowing out to right field to hug the foul pole for an early 3-0 lead.
