APSU Baseball’s Craig Massoni named OVC Player of the Week

Brentwood, TN – Austin Peay State University first baseman Craig Massoni was named the Ohio Valley Conference’s “Player of the Week,” Monday.

Massoni, of Danville, CA, batted .385 in three games last week, with a home run and seven RBI.

The bulk of his week’s effort came in a monstrous 3-for-4, six RBI outing against Southern Illinois, Tuesday. Each of his three hits scored two runs – two giving APSU the lead and the third providing key insurance runs in an 11-8 victory.

It was the first six-RBI performance since Greg Bachman‘s six-RBI outing last season against Murray State – one of two he had that season. It also was Massoni’s first three-hit outing as a Governor.

Massoni was quieter in Sunday’s doubleheader against Michigan State, going 2-for-4 with a RBI single in the opener before being held hitless in the nightcap, ending a six-game hit streak.

Austin Peay concludes its three-game series against Michigan State with a 4 p.m., Monday contest at Raymond C. Hand Park.
