Govs close homestand with 2-0 shutout of Phoenix

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University's softball team closed out it's six-game homestand by shutting out Green Bay, 2-0, Monday afternoon at Cathi Maynard Park-Cheryl Holt Field, as the Governors finished its longest homestand in over three years by winning five of the six contests.

The Governors (11-8) scored all its runs in the bottom of the third inning, with Lexi Osowski-Anderson reaching on a one-out double, her second double of the day, and score when Green Bay's third baseman threw wildly to first base on a ground ball by Kylie Campbell.

Two batters later, Campbell would score on a Green Bay (8-15) wild pitch, making it, 2-0.

Those two runs proved to be all the runs that the Govs would need, as Samantha Miener and Ashley Martin combined for the five-hit shutout, with Martin (2-1) earning the win and Miener the save, her first of the season.

Inside the Boxscore

  • With her two hits, Lexi Osowski-Anderson moved past APSU Hall of Famer Andrea Miller (1993-96) for third-place all-time for career hits, with 211.
  • The combined shutout by Samantha Miener and Ashley Martin was the Govs first combined shutout since April 18, 2021, when Shelby Harpe and Jordan Benefiel combined to shutout Tennessee State, 4-0.
  • Osowski-Anderson's first-inning double was the 50th of her career, the first Governor to reach that milestone in program history.
  • Samantha Miener's save was her first of the season, and third of her career, tying her for seventh place all-time in program history.
