Murfreesboro, Tenn. - The Falcons were unable to string any hits together in a game against the Billikens of Saint Louis Saturday night. The contest was held at Middle Tennessee State's Reese James Jr. Field.

For the Falcons, Ethan McKenney went four innings allowing four earned runs and receiving the loss. He would hand the ball to fifth-year senior Patrick Martin, who went one inning, allowing just one hit. Trevor Blaylock would come on for the sixth, allowing two hits and one earned run. Matt Malewitz pitched the seventh, allowing one earned run on two hits. Jason Link would pitch the eighth inning, where he would only allow one hit.
