CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University baseball and third-year head coach Roland Fanning finalized the Governors' 2025 schedule featuring five home Atlantic Sun Conference series at Joe Maynard Field at Raymond C. Hand Park.
The Governors' upcoming campaign begins at the 2025 MLB Desert Invitational at Sloan Park in Mesa, Arizona, where they open the season against New Mexico (Feb. 14). The Govs finish the tournament against Seton Hall (Feb. 15) and Grand Canyon University (Feb. 16). Before returning home, the Govs face Big 12 opponent Arizona State (Feb. 17) at Phoenix Municipal Stadium in Phoenix, Arizona.
The Governors are greeted in Clarksville by Southeast Missouri (Feb. 19) for a midweek nonconference matchup. A four-game series is set for the weekend after the midweek contest against SEMO, as the Govs take on Purdue Fort Wayne (Feb. 19) for only the second meeting in program history and for the first time at home since a 3-1 series dominance in the '23 season.
The Governors' nonconference schedule to start the year continues with weekend series against Eastern Illinois (Feb. 28) and St. Thomas (March 7). During that span, Austin Peay splits pairs of home and away midweek contests against Middle Tennessee on Feb. 25 in Murfreesboro and March 4 in Clarksville. They will also split home and away games with Southern Indiana first on the road March 11 and at home March 19.
The Govs have several other nonconference games throughout the season, including home and away midweek meetings with Tennessee Tech and Morehead State. They will travel to Tennessee Tech (March 18), and Morehead State (May 6). The Governors will then host Tennessee Tech (March 25), and Morehead State (April 15).
Another pair of midweek road meetings are set with Big Ten opponent, Purdue (April 22), and SEC opponent Ole Miss (April 29).
For the 2025 schedule, the ASUN will be divided into two divisions: Gold and Graphite.

The Graphite Division includes institutions: Florida Gulf Coast, Jacksonville, North Florida, Queens, Stetson, and West Georgia. Each institution will play every opponent twice in their respective division, both home and away this spring.
The Governors begin with a three-game weekend home series against Lipscomb (March 14). The Bisons will be the final ASUN opponent for the Govs in 2025, as they finish the regular season in Nashville with a three-game set starting on May 15.
Austin Peay will travel back-to-back weekends to face Central Arkansas (March 21) and Bellarmine (March 28) to finish the month of March.
The Govs begin April with a home series against Eastern Kentucky (April 4). They then are back on the road for back-to-back road trips against North Alabama (April 11) and Eastern Kentucky (April 17).
