MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The Middle Tennessee softball team hosts No. 25 Marshall in a pivotal conference series this weekend. The Raiders enter the series on a make or break conference record of 5-11, needing wins to stay in the hunt for a C-USA tournament berth. On the other hand, the Thundering Herd is 15-3 in league play and has already clinched a spot in the tournament.
The two sides have met 11 times in the past with Marshall winning 10 of those 11 contests. The lone MT victory came in the 2011 season in a neutral site tournament game in Auburn, Ala.
