MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee returns home as they look get back above .500 against Austin Peay Tuesday night, after being swept by No. 14 Southern Miss in Hattiesburg.
The Blue Raiders and the Governors met back on March 13th with MT taking the road victory, 9-0.
In that game, five Blue Raider hitters had multi-hit games. Junior Brett Stratinsky smashed his first-career home run in the 5th inning of that game.
Sophomore pitcher Grant Williams was also dominant in his start against the Governors. Williams tossed 6.0 innings giving up just three hits while striking out six.
For Austin Peay, they are led offensively by Garret Giovannelli. The senior is hitting .377 in 39 starts, leading his team in both doubles (18) and stolen bases (16).
Out of the bullpen, Brett Newberg leads the Governors in appearances (20). Newberg also boasts a team low ERA (3.44) as the teams closer.
For the Blue Raiders, Ryan Kemp settled in nicely in his return to the lineup, figuring out the Golden Eagles pitching staff on his way to a 5-for-11 weekend, including a three-hit performance in game one of the doubleheader on Saturday.
Out of the bullpen, Tyler Holcombe went three innings without giving up a hit in game two.
Aaron Aucker is a close 2nd in Conference USA in total RBIs with 45. Southern Miss' Matt Wallner leads C-USA with 47 after grabbing two RBIs in the series last weekend vs. Middle Tennessee.
Austin Dennis saw his reached base streak come to an end at 28 games in game one Saturday. The junior did pick up his 18th stolen base this weekend, and leads the team in on base percentage (.419).
Middle Tennessee is looking for their 90th victory over Austin Peay all-time. MT leads the all-time series 89-43.
First pitch on Tuesday is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. at Reese Smith Jr. Field. Fans who can't make it to the park can hear the call on 101.9/100.5 WGNS.
