Austin Peay State University Baseball eliminated from OVC Tournament by Southeast MissouriAustin Peay Sports Information
After finishing a game at 2:48am, Thursday, and playing a 4-hour, 44-minute dramatic 13-inning game earlier Saturday, the physically-taxed Govs ran out of magic and pitching late against No. 1 seed Southeast Missouri, falling 10-4. ![]() Austin Peay Baseball falls to Southeast Missouri 10-4 in OVC Tournament elimination game Saturday night. (APSU Sports Information) The Governors turned to redshirt freshman Josh Rye to start the game, the same lefthander who didn’t return from an upper-body injury until mid-May after two months on the shelf. But Rye provided the Govs more than they could have expected, tossing 5.1 innings, allowing just three earned runs while throwing a season-high 83 pitches.
Lacking pitching depth, head coach Travis Janssen turned to junior Alex Robles, who started and won Wednesday’s late-night affair in 100-plus pitching effort. Robles got out of the sixth allowing the tying run to score and kept SEMO at bay in the seventh. But the eighth inning was a different story as Chris Osborne led off with a triple and scored the go-ahead run on a Brian Boggetto single to center.
Junior second baseman Garrett Copeland smacked two balls off the left-field wall during his first two trips to the plate, finishing with three hits. He scored the game’s first run in the opening inning on a Hamilton single—the Govs’ right fielder finished with two hits and four RBI for the contest.
