PADUCAH, Ky. - Tennessee Tech scored five unanswered runs on its way to a 5-4 victory against Austin Peay in the Ohio Valley Conference Baseball Championship, Thursday afternoon, at Brooks Stadium.

Tennessee Tech (34-22-1) second baseman Matt Mihoci's fielder's choice RBI in the sixth inning capped the comeback victory. The Golden Eagles were down by four runs after four innings, but got RBIs from three consecutive batters in the fourth to cut the lead to 4-3, setting up the sixth frame.

Austin Peay (27-29) jumped out on the strength of its baserunning, stealing six bases in the contest and stealing home twice in its three-run fourth inning. Another stolen base in the fourth paved the way for third baseman Greg Bachman's sacrifice fly to extend the lead to 4-0.

Golden Eagles' reliever A.J. Kirby-Jones (4-1) picked up the victory after holding the Govs to one run over the final 6.2 innings, striking out six and walking four.

Austin Peay starter David Vicini (2-4) was tagged for the loss after allowing five runs on nine hits over 5.1 innings.
