Clarksville, TN – The Austin Peay State University (APSU) softball team dropped a 4-1 Atlantic Sun Conference decision to Central Arkansas, Friday, at Cathi Maynard Park.
After scoring its lone run of the contest in a three-hit first inning, Austin Peay (34-12, 11-8 ASUN) was limited to just a single base knock across the final six innings against the Bears (24-24, 12-6 ASUN).
A quartet of Governors tallied a hit in the outing, while Sam Leski drove in the Govs’ first-inning run on a single.
Scoring Summary
Bottom First | After stranding a pair of Bears on the bases in the top of the first inning, the Governors hit three-straight two-out singles, with Leski driving in Macee Roberts for the first score of the game.
Top Third | A Central Arkansas single and hit by pitch put two on, before a single down the right field line drove in the runner in scoring position to tie the game in the top of the first.
Top Fourth | The Governors retired the first two Bears in the top of the fourth inning via a ground out and pop up to third base. UCA then put runners on courtesy of a walk and single, before a double to center cleared the bases for the first lead change of the afternoon.
Top Sixth | Following a scoreless fifth inning from both sides, Central Arkansas’ leadoff batter homered to right center field for the would-be final score of the evening.
