MTSU Baseball Begins 25th Year Under Coach Peterson

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WMOT)  --  Blue Raiders baseball kicks off its 96th season this weekend.

MTSU will take on Kansas Saturday afternoon beginning at 3 p.m. The 2012 baseball season at MT is the 25th under the direction of head coach Steve Peterson.

Noting that Middle Tennessee had a losing season last year, Coach Peterson says his team has something to prove in 2012.

"We went through a season last year that Middle Tennessee is not used to having, especialy the 24 or 25 years that I've been here. We've only had a year like that one other time. But, you gotta' wear it. I would say that the 2012 club has something to prove."
