MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — An early deficit put Middle Tennessee behind the eight ball on Friday afternoon, as Georgia Tech (10-18) took an early lead and stretched it in the late innings to get the series opening win over the Blue Raiders (13-12).
 
MIDDLE TENNESSEE 1, GEORGIA TECH 10

» Georgia Tech scored its first run on a bloop single to left field and its second on a sacrifice bunt. Runs three and four were on another single to left.

» Both teams went scoreless in the second, third, fourth and fifth innings.
» The Yellow Jackets added three runs on a pair of homers in the top of the sixth to make it 7-1.
» After MT went scoreless in its half of the sixth, Georgia Tech added three more insurance runs in the seventh to ensure a 10-1 win in the series opener.
» Kelci Hill's 2-for-3 performance, including a double in the third inning, gives her a team-leading six multi-hit games this season.
