MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University's softball team had chances early-on versus Middle Tennessee, Wednesday afternoon at Blue Raider Field, but couldn't find that final key hit, as the Governors lost a pitcher's duel to MTSU, 1-0.
The Govs (14-14) put runners in scoring position in each of the first three innings versus Middle Tennessee (14-18), with Morgan Zuege reaching third base in the first, Kendyl Weinzapfel reaching third in the second and Megan Hodum second base in the third, but Austin Peay went 0-for-10 in the game with runners on base and 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position.
The Blue Raiders did fair much better, only recording four hits in the contest, but one of those four left the yard for a home run in the third inning, accounting for the game's only run.
Samantha Miener (3-5) took the hard-luck loss, going 3.1 innings, while giving up the one run on three hits, while walking two and striking out four.
