MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Ansley Blevins couldn't believe they went to the well twice.
With a two-strike count in the bottom of the first in Saturday's 8-7, series clinching win over FIU, Middle Tennessee Softball's backstop got a change-up, knee high and the sophomore rifled it over the center field wall for her ninth home run of the season.
