Clarksville, TN – The Austin Peay State University (APSU) softball team prepares for its final home series of the season and Senior Weekend when it takes on Atlantic Sun Conference foe Central Arkansas, Friday-Sunday, at Cathi Maynard Park. The series begins with a Friday 5:00pm contest and is followed by Saturday and Sunday games at 1:00pm. Senior Day festivities will begin following Sunday’s finale against the Bears.
The Governors (34-11, 11-7 ASUN) are fresh off a 7-6, extra-inning victory at Tennessee Tech, with Kiley Hinton driving in the game-winning runs in the top of the eighth inning to lead Austin Peay State University to its 34th win of the season.
Those 34 wins mark the second-most in program history, trailing only 39 wins during the 2018 campaign. With the team’s most-recent win, Kassie Stanfill – the winningest head coach in program history – now has three of the top five winningest seasons in program history to go along with her 185-137 record at the helm of Governors softball.
Austin Peay State University’s offense, which ranks Top 25 nationally in home runs (23rd), runs (25th), and slugging percentage (23rd), is paced by Kylie Campbell’s team-best 55 hits, 45 runs, .396 batting average, .734 slugging percentage and 24 extra-base hits. After recording her seventh triple of the season last time out against the Golden Eagles, Campbell moved into a tie with Kacy Acree (2016-19) for third all-time in hits with 218.
Last time Campbell took the field at Cathi Maynard Park, she became the first Governor in program history with 50-plus hits across four different seasons, while her 45 runs in 2025 are just one from tying Andrea Miller’s program-record, set in 1996.
The Governors’ program-record 62 home runs this season has been aided by 11 Govs tallying four-baggers, nine with multiple, and seven with at least five, led by Katie Raper’s 11 and Sam Leski 10.
