MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Any other fall, Middle Tennessee's softball team would be wrapping up its slate of exhibition games, a chance for returners to dial in on little tweaks that need to be made to their game and for newcomers to get up to speed on the faster-paced college game.
This fall looks a little different for the Blue Raiders, whose only competition will be each other. However, all those intrasquad scrimmages may not be such a bad thing right now.
"When you do that, everybody plays all the time, so we end up getting more reps in than we would have," said MT head coach Jeff Breeden.
