Murfreesboro, TENN.—Peyton Wigginton trotted out of the dugout and picked up the ball in the fourth inning. Middle Tennessee found itself down 2-0 early and was in search of a spark to pick things up in what was a briskly played ballgame.
With two outs in the inning, Samford shortstop Taylor Garris laced a double out into the gap between Blue Raider centerfielder Nathan Sanders and right fielder Cole Escher. Wigginton returned to the mound, just as he has many times throughout his career, and toed the rubber in an adverse situation.
