Howard Fires Walk-Off Homer, Jones Tosses One-Hitter as Govs Split Saturday Doubleheader

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Brie Howard had a three-run home run in the bottom of the fifth inning and pitcher Alanah Jones surrendered just one hit in an 8-0, five-inning Atlantic Sun Conference win against North Alabama; however, Austin Peay State University's softball team dropped a 5-0 decision in Game 2 of the day, Saturday, at Cathi Maynard Park.

Game One

Austin Peay 8, North Alabama 0 (5 Innings)

The Governors got 11 free bases from North Alabama in Game 1 of the day, collecting seven walks and four hit by pitches. Jones tallied her sixth complete game in the win, allowing just one hit and striking out four batters in 5.0 innings of work. Brie Howard then put the final stamp on the result with her three-run homer – her 14th home run of the season, which ties her for third all-time in a single season.

Bottom 1st | After allowing an Emilee Baker single to begin the bottom of the first, North Alabama walked each of the next three Governors, with Katie Raper picking up the RBI on her free base.

Bottom 3rd | Howard led off the bottom of the third inning getting hit by a pitch. She then advanced into scoring position following a Sammie Shelander single up the middle before a Katie Raper walk and Kiley Hinton hit by pitch gave the Govs a 2-0 lead with no outs. Directly following Hinton's hit by pitch, Ashlyn Dulaney drew a walk to score another run, before a Makayla Navarro sacrifice fly scored the Govs third and final run of the frame.

Bottom 5th | Navarro and Makenzie Woodall both reached in the bottom of the fifth courtesy of walks. A Baker single scored Navarro before Howard's three-run homer resulted in the run-rule decision.
