Austin Peay (29-21) battled back with two runs in the third inning, second baseman Garrett Copeland hitting a RBI double followed by left fielder Logan Gray‘s run-scoring single.
The Governors hacked away in the fourth with three consecutive batters hitting the first pitch they saw for a base hit. Third baseman Alex Robles tied the game with the last hit in that string, the last play before lightning forced an initial delay.
