APSU Sports: Austin Peay Softball

Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay softball continues the early signing period by adding utility player Christiana Gable, of Nolensville, TN, Tuesday, for the 2013-14 season.
^[1]Gable hails from Ezell-Harding High School, where she was a jack-of-all trades for head coach Don Freudenthal and a two-time all-region performer. In 2012, she batted .545 (55-for-101) and hit five home runs and 17 doubles and batted in 41 runs to lead Ezell-Harding to the Division II Class A sub-state level in the state tournament.

In addition to her prowess at the plate, Gable is a force to be reckoned with in the circle. She has thrown five perfect games during her high school career and has 40 victories as a starter the last two seasons.

While Gable’s pitching can be a bonus, Austin Peay head coach Stephanie Paris is counting on her to become a force in the middle of the lineup when she arrives in Clarksville.

“Christiana has great power potential and I see her stepping right into a role as a big offensive leader,” Paris said. “We see her as a corner infielder for us at the college level. It’s also a positive to have a position player who can come in and give you some innings as a pitcher if you need them.”
