MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — The challenge for the weekend for Middle Tennessee Softball from head coach Jeff Breeden was simple. But that simplicity made it all the more remarkable.
"I told our kids that we want this weekend to make sure on Sunday, when our fans leave here, that they saw us compete as hard as we can compete and that they're going to look forward to next fall when they can come back and watch us again," Breeden said after MTSU's 3-2 win over UTSA on Friday.
It's a simple thing to want that in your final home series in a season, a product worth watching on the field that can also engage the local community.
