Austin Peay State University Baseball shelled by Jacksonville State in 25-12 lossAustin Peay Sports Information
The Govs used a walk and hit batsman with one out to start applying pressure. Jacksonville State appeared to escape the inning when designated hitter Alex Robles hit a high chopper up the middle, but the throw bounced in front of and then away from the first baseman, allowing Robles to reach base and a run to score.
Jacksonville State (13-5, 6-0 OVC) again didn’t trail for long, the Govs lead not lasting the bottom of the inning. The Gamecocks sent 12 men to the plate in the first, driving in seven runs with two outs in the inning. Catcher Nicholas Gaddis hit a two-run double into the left center gap that gave Jacksonville State the lead. Center fielder Peyton Williams followed with a two-run single and second baseman Clayton Daniel added a RBI double to give the Gamecocks an 8-4 lead.
Austin peay would score just one run between the second and fifth innings. The Govs would hit home runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings to close the gap. Catcher Ridge Smith‘s solo home run in the sixth was his eighth this season – tying the OVC home run lead. Second baseman Garrett Copeland chipped in a two-run home run in the seventh – his season’s first. Center fielder Chase Hamilton added a two-run home run in the eighth. Second baseman Clayton Daniels’ 4-for-6, four-RBI effort paced Jacksonville State and included three doubles and a triple. The Gamecocks finished with 19 hits, 11 going for extra bases (seven doubles, two triples and two home runs), while they earned 10 walks.
Jacksonville State reliever Joe McGuire (1-0) benefitted from the JSU outburst. The second man out of the bullpen, he picked up his season’s first victory after holding APSU to one run on three hits over 3.1 innings. Austin Peay concludes its four-game road trip when it travels to Western Kentucky for a 6:00pm, Wednesday contest at Nick Denes Field.
