APSU Governors Baseball holds off SIU Edwardsville CougarsAPSU Sports Information
Austin Peay (30-18, 20-9 OVC) scored 10 straight runs to build a 10-2 lead through eight innings. ![]() Austin Peay Baseball holds off late SIU Edwardsville rally for 12-9 win Saturday. (APSU Sports Information) SIUE (9-36, 6-20 OVC) tightened the screws in the eighth as the first four batters of the frame hit singles against Powell. First baseman Keaton Wright and shortstop Skyler Geissinger’s singles each driving in a run. Powell’s outing – the first time he started the eighth inning this season – came to an end when he loaded the bases with a walk.
Kimbel’s outing came to a close and Austin Peay turned to Zach Neff to try and close the door. Neff would get the first two outs before surrendering a soft line drive to right for a two-run single, cutting the deficit to one run, 10-9. However, he would ultimately close the door with a pop out to strand the tying run on base.
Governors closer Jared Carkuff would allow a walk and a single to start the bottom of the ninth. But he steadied himself with an infield fly before inducing a game-ending double play for his season’s sixth save. Smithson’s 3-for-5 outing included a game-tying two-run single in the second. He added a RBI double in the fourth and tacked on a RBI triple in the eighth. Hamilton was joined on the home run tote board by second baseman Garrett Copeland and Gray. The Governors notched eight extra base hits in a 13-hit attack. The offensive outburst helped Powell (7-2) notch his fourth consecutive win after allowing seven runs (six earned) on 11 hits in seven-plus innings.
Cougars starter Jarrett Bednar (2-10) was tagged for six runs (three earned) in his six-inning start. Austin Peay wraps up the OVC portion of its schedule with its 1:00pm, Sunday contest at SIUE.
