COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – A quick respite at the friendly confines of Bush Stadium at the Averitt Express Baseball Complex is in order for the Tennessee Tech baseball team, which takes a brief break from back-to-back weekends on the road with a Wednesday, midweek match-up with in-state rival Middle Tennessee.
Set for a 6 p.m. CT start, the contest represents the second of a home-and-home series with the Blue Raiders and will be broadcast live on the OVC Digital Network with Dylan Vazzano on the call.
