Austin Peay Men’s Baseball hosting Riverview Inn Challenge
Friday-Sunday, March 9th-11th, 2012
Clarksville, TN | Raymond C. Hand Park (777)
Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay’s baseball team will put a four game win streak on the line when it hosts the Riverview Inn Challenge, Friday-Sunday, at Raymond C. Hand Park. The Govs will host Northern Illinois, Dayton and Arkansas State in the round-robin event. Austin Peay will play the afternoon contest each day which will be preceded by an 11:00am contest.
Austin Peay swept last weekend’s Riverview Inn Classic, downing Youngstown State (8-2), Iowa (4-3) and Akron (14-4), before hitting the road and winning its first midweek outing, 7-1, at Alabama A&M, Tuesday. Third baseman Greg Bachman was named College Sports Madness Player of the Week and then became the 11th Govs hitter to record 200 career hits with an eighth-inning single at Alabama A&M.

Catcher Matt Wollenzin notched his season’s first home run at Alabama A&M. Game 1 starter Ryan Quick recorded his season’s first victory in the Govs 8-2 win against Youngstown State, he lowered his season ERA to 2.50 in the win. Game 3 starter Casey Delgado picked up his team-leading second win behind the Govs season-best 14-run output against Akron.
The Govs bullpen has allowed 3 runs in 15.1 innings during the win streak, striking out 22 batters. Austin Peay has outscored opponents 10-1 in the eighth inning and beyond and is 4-0 when leading or tied after seven innings. Austin Peay was picked to finish first in the OVC’s preseason poll. Four Governors were selected to the league’s preseason team – Toney, Harper, senior outfielder Michael Blanchard and sophomore second baseman Jordan Hankins.
Austin Peay returns 7 of its 8 defensive starters from last season.
Mr. 200
Senior Greg Bachman recorded his 200th career hit with an 8th-inning single at Alabama A&M, March 6th. He joined a group of 11 Govs to reach that milestone in the long history of the program.
He is the first Austin Peay player to reach the milestone since Jared Walker (245 career hits) and Chris Hyde (222) each recorded their 200th hit in 2005. Current Los Angeles Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis holds Austin Peay’s hits record with 263 base-knocks during his career.
Camouflage Cap For The Win
Austin Peay debuted its new Camouflage Cap in its March 4th contest against Akron. A homage to those who serve in the U.S. Armed Forces, the Govs will wear the cap for every home Sunday contest the rest of the season.
The cap got off to a good start, as the Govs broke out for a season-high 14 runs in a win against the Zips.
