Designated hitter Ray Zuberer III went 3-for-4 with three RBIs Sunday, leading Western Kentucky to a 10-7 victory over Middle Tennessee at Nick Denes Field.
Third baseman Chase Larsen also had three hits for WKU (10-10 overall, 1-2 Conference USA), which avoided a three-game sweep at the hands of the Blue Raiders (11-9, 2-1).
Hilltoppers pitcher Ben Morrison allowed only one run over the game's final four innings. He earned the save after MTSU tallied six runs over the game's first five innings. Jacob Rhinesmith added two RBIs in the WKU win.
The Toppers sit in a four-way tie for seventh in the C-USA standings after the first weekend of league play.
