CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University's softball team opened its fall schedule with a 6-3 win against John A. Logan, Sunday, at Cathi Maynard Park.

The Governors led the 10-inning opener wire-to-wire, with Brie Howard pacing the team with a pair of hits across three plate appearances during an afternoon in which head coach Kassie Stanfill utilized nearly her entire 22-man roster.

Both Howard and Kylie Campbell reached base in the bottom of the opening frame, with Howard picking up a single and Campbell reaching safely on a fielder's choice. 

Raylon Roach, Howard, and Campbell hit singles to break the ice and help give the Govs a 2-0 lead through three innings, while Kiley Hinton and Sam Leski also tallied a base knock to extend APSU's advantage to 4-0 following the fourth.

After the Vols cut into APSU's advantage following a two-run sixth inning, Macee Roberts brought in Maggie Daughrity in the bottom of the seventh before Sammie Leski crossed the plate for APSU's sixth and final run of the evening.
