MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee softball finished off a sweep of the UTEP Miners, allowing just one run across the three-game series.
The Blue Raiders (26-27, 13-14 CUSA) jumped out to an early lead against the Miners (22-28, 10-17 CUSA) and never looked back. Ansley Blevins ripped an RBI double in the first inning to score Jana Want, setting the tone before the offense exploded for seven runs in the second.
In her final game at Blue Raider Softball Field, Ava Brooks smashed a home run over the right-field wall to open the scoring in the second. Just a few batters later, Addy Edgmon hit an RBI single to score Leila Ammon, and Macie Harter followed with a two-run single to bring the score to 6-0. Blevins then crushed her second extra-base hit of the game — a home run to right-center field.
UTEP got on the board with a run in the fourth inning, but Edgmon walked off the game in the fifth with another RBI single, securing the run-rule victory.
In the circle, Leila Ammon went the distance, tossing all five innings while striking out seven and allowing just one run. The freshman surrendered only four hits and didn't issue a walk.
