Murfreesboro, TN – The Austin Peay State University (APSU) softball team had chances early on Wednesday afternoon at Blue Raider Field against Middle Tennessee but couldn’t find that final key hit, as the Governors lost a pitcher’s duel to MTSU, 1-0.
Austin Peay State University (14-14) put runners in scoring position in each of the first three innings versus Middle Tennessee (14-18), with Morgan Zuege reaching third base in the first, Kendyl Weinzapfel reaching third in the second, and Megan Hodum second base in the third.
