MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee baseball was "Bubbles Up" after defeating North Alabama 9-2 on Jimmy Buffet night at the Reese.
The Blue Raiders (15-29, 5-13 C-USA) shut down the Lions (14-28, 9-15 ASUN) with runners threatening in the top of the first inning with the first of two six-four-three double plays of the evening.
Both offenses were at a stalemate until Gabe Jennings unloaded on a baseball to hit his first career grand slam to open up the scoring in the third inning and give MTSU a four-run lead.
He was followed by Jackson Galloway, who hit his sixth round-tripper of the year to make the score 6-0 in the fifth frame.
