In A Nutshell
The Murray State softball team will travel to Tennessee Tech this weekend for their penultimate series of the regular season. The two teams will play a doubleheader Saturday at 1 p.m., followed by a single-game Sunday at 1 p.m.
All-Time Series At A Glance
Murray State holds a slim margin in the all-time series, 15-14, with the Golden Eagles inching closer by taking two of three last season. The series will mark just the second trip to Cookeville for the Racers since 2015, where they hold a 9-4 advantage over the home team.
Scouting The Golden Eagles
The Golden Eagles enter Tuesday's doubleheader at 31-15 overall and 13-9 in league play after splitting a homy.e doubleheader with Morehead State Wednesday.
Tennessee Tech currently hits .285 as a team, led by Haeli Bryson who is hitting .399 with team-highs of 37 RBIs, 9 doubles and 9 home runs.
In the circle, the Golden Eagles have a team ERA of 3.64, while opponents hit .265 against them. Alyssa Arden currently serves as ace for the Tennessee Tech staff and is currently 13-9 on the season with a 3.80 ERA, a .259 opponent's batting average, a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.1:1 and 4.7 strikeouts per seven innings pitched.
A Series Win...
A series win would help the Racers keep pace with Belmont, as they enter the weekend one game behind the first-place Bruins with six games remaining. Belmont hosts Eastern Illinois this weekend and will close out the regular-season next week at Southeast Missouri.
