MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee's (18-18, 8-7 C-USA) series-opening game with the Rice Owls (16-21, 6-9 C-USA) has been suspended due to weather and will pick back up tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. with game two of the series following approximately 30 minutes from the conclusion of tonight's ballgame.
The Blue Raiders and Owls completed 5.2 innings of play and Middle Tennessee leads 3-0. Middle Tennessee is in the field and will tentatively face Rice leadoff hitter Jacob Devanney with the bases empty and a fresh count when play resumes on Saturday.
So far in the ballgame, Eston Snider's speed netted the Blue Raiders their first run of the night after he legged out a grounder to Rice shortstop Ben Royo, and Royo's throw sailed into the MTSU dugout to put Snider in scoring positon to start the inning.
