Osowski-Anderson reaches milestone, but Govs fall to #21 Auburn

Auburn, Ala. – Lexi Osowski-Anderson recorded two hits, including the 200th of her career, but it wasn't enough, Sunday afternoon at Jane B. Moore Field, as Austin Peay State University fell to No. 21 nationally ranked Auburn, 5-1.

Austin Peay (2-6) struck first, with Megan Hodum opening the first inning by getting on base via an error by the Tigers (9-1) first baseman, followed by a opposite-field single by Kendyl Weinzapfel, to mover her into scoring position at second base.

That brought up Osowski-Anderson, who ripped a 0-2 pitch past the third baseman for her 200th career hit to drive in Hodum and give the Govs a 1-0 lead.

The score would remain that way until the bottom of the third, when Auburn scored all five of their runs, coming on five hits, to go up, 5-1.

Jordan Benefiel (2-3) took the complete-game loss, giving up eight hits and three walks, while striking out three.

The Govs would continue to put pressure on the nationally ranked Tigers, putting runner on base in three of their four final at bats, including multiple runners on base in two of those innings, but couldn't come up with a big final hit in any of those innings to cut into the deficit.
