LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Middle Tennessee softball fell to New Mexico State, 5-2, on Saturday, April 26, in game two of the series.
The Blue Raiders (23-26, 10-13) battled hard against the Aggies (24-24, 11-12) but ultimately couldn't complete a late rally. NM State jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the third inning on a two-out fielding error by the Blue Raiders.
