MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee baseball fell behind early and could never recover on Friday evening at Reese Smith Jr. Field, giving up nine runs in the first four frames before faltering 10-5 to even up the series.
JT Mabry went 2-for-4 at the dish, scoring one of MT's two runs, while Wyatt Morgan was a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate.
Head Coach Jim Toman was ejected from the game in the fifth inning after expressing disagreement over a safe/out on an attempted steal. Middle Tennessee (17-16, 8-6 C-USA) gave seven Charlotte (19-15, 5-9 C-USA) hitters free bases on either walks or hit batters.
