Middle should go back to the OVC.

Owenby is typically a closer, he hasn't gotten much work, probably had a pitch count

I have heard that he has had a sore shoulder and that is why they are being a little cautious with him.

That's odd, I wouldn't call it caution to throw him out there as a starter tonight...If he had a sore shoulder seems like he would have sat out tonight completely. Not doubting what you heard, just doesn't seem to make sense with what happened.

Good win for the Vols!

For MTSU, the crappy season continues :/

Glad MTSU is in the C-USA. Great baseball conference. Also, good football & basketball. Happy for Middle. I root for them whenever they're not playing UT.

I think he is finally healthy but he for sure started the season with some soreness. I was told once he was healthy he would be in the starting rotation but I think you are right in they probably had him on a pitch count with this being his first extended outing of the year. So I should have said the caution was not letting him throw to many pitches.

Owenby was on a pitch count of 45, he threw 40 by the end of the 2nd inning so CDS called it a day.

College roundup: Power surge | Perfect Game USA

Tennessee: The Vols put together what was a very business-like performance in a 2-0 road win over Middle Tennessee State in front of 1,312 fans. Vols starting pitcher Drake Owenby threw two shutout innings to begin the game, while Peter Lenstrohm led the way after that, tossing three shutout frames … A.J. Simcox, Christin Stewart and Taylor Smart each finished the contest with a pair of hits.
