Tennessee Tech Baseball Weekend Preview (5/12)
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It's back to the grind of the Ohio Valley Conference season for the Tennessee Tech baseball team, as the Golden Eagles head back to Nashville Friday evening to kick off a three-game series at in-state rival Belmont.
The Bruins will host Tech in a 6 p.m. CT tilt at E.S. Rose Park Friday before a couple of 1 p.m. match-ups on Saturday and Sunday round out the series. Fans can follow the action live on the OVC Digital Network.
The Golden Eagles enter after a midweek loss at Lipscomb, but a successful weekend. Tech took 2-of-3 from the league's top-ranked team, Southeast Missouri, to stay in the hunt for a spot in the OVC Tournament. Belmont fell to Tennessee in midweek action on Tuesday after winning 2-of-3 games at Murray State last weekend.
Tennessee Tech (25-21, 12-12) vs. Southeast Missouri (28-21, 14-10)
