MSU scores seven unanswered for win
The Murray State softball team completed a three-game sweep of Tennessee Tech with a 7-3 come-from-behind win at Tech Softball Field in Cookeville.
In A Nutshell
The Racers fell behind early in the game, allowing the Golden Eagles to score three runs in the bottom of the first. Murray Stater answered with two runs in the top of the second and five more throughout the game for a total of seven unanswered runs.
Fast Facts
• Sierra Gilmore drove in three of the Racers' seven runs in the game with a sacrifice fly in the fifth and a two-RBI single in the sixth. Logan Braundmeier also had a big day, as she went 2-for-4 with two runs and her 23rd double of the season.
• Jenna Veber (14-7) picked up the win in the circle for Murray State Sunday, allowed no runs on three hits with six strikeouts and no walks over the final six innings of the game.
• Murray State is now 35-14-1 on the year and 19-6 in the OVC. Despite the win Sunday, the Racers remain one game behind first-place Belmont in the standings, as the Bruins also picked up a win on the day. With three games remaining in the regular-season, Murray State has already clinched a double-bye in the upcoming conference tournament, as one of the top two seeds.
What's Next
The Racers return home next weekend for the final week of the regular season against Morehead State with one game on Saturday and two on Sunday.
