MURFREESBORO, Tenn.—Coming off a two-plus hour rain delay, Middle Tennessee (7-7) was unable to overcome a 12-run output by St. Bonaventure (4-8) on Saturday in a 12-2 loss to even up the series.
Blue Raider backstop Briggs Rutter didn't waste any time getting his team on the board, collecting his first RBI of the day through the left side of the St. Bonaventure infield to make it 1-0. Jackson Galloway gave MTSU a 2-0 lead to head into the second inning after pushing a beautiful sacrifice bunt down the third base line to plate Luke Vinson.
