APSU Men’s Baseball

Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay’s baseball team had its most productive back-to-back games in nearly a month but could only salvage a split of Saturday’s Ohio Valley Conference doubleheader against Eastern Illinois at Raymond C. Hand Park. The Panthers posted an 11-9 victory in the opener but the Govs rebounded to win an 8-0 nightcap.

Austin Peay’s (11-13, 2-2 OVC) 17 runs in the two games was its largest offensive output in back-to-back games since the first week of March. The Govs finished the day with 30 hits, posting 17 in the opener and 13 in the nightcap. It was such an impressive outing that APSU raised its season average 14 points in just the two games, finishing the day batting .280 as a team.
