The WKU baseball team (3-1) hosted Murray State (0-4) for its first midweek game of the 2020 season on Wednesday evening, and the Hilltoppers held on in the decisive frame to defeat the scrappy Racers in a thrilling 7-6 decision at Nick Denes Field.
Like WKU’s season-opening contest against Valparaiso on Feb. 14, this game was moved due to projected inclement weather. The midweek contest was originally set for 3 p.m. on Wednesday in Murray, but it was shifted to 3 p.m. on Thursday in Bowling Green.
“I told our team I thought a game like this, after it was all over, will certainly help us down the road,” head coach John Pawlowski said.
