        Series Notes

        First Meeting Since 2012
        Austin Peay and Arkansas State have met 13 times previously on the baseball diamond, but this week’s matchup will be the first since 2012. The two teams were slated to play a pair of games last season, but weather halted play early in Game 1 and ultimately washed out the pair.

        Red Wolves Hold Slight Lead
        Arkansas State owns an 8-5 lead in the all-time series, which dates back to 1995. Austin Peay has won the last two meetings between the teams.The most recent decision saw Greg Bachman deliver a walk off 10-9 victory with an 11th-inning single in the final game of the 2012 Riverview Inn Governors Challenge.

        Notably

        No Glossing Over Gleason
        APSU Baseball - Dre GleasonFirst baseman Dre Gleason is in rarefied air after the season’s first five weekends as the only Division I player to rank among the Top 6 in batting average (6th, .469), slugging percentage (6th, .844), on-base percentage (6th, .561) and RBI per game (5th, 1.58 per game). He also is the Ohio Valley Conference leader in all four categories.

        Power Numbers Still Impress
        Austin Peay moved down to third among Division I teams in home runs per game, its average dropping to 1.74 per game after 19 contests. The Govs 33 total home runs (5th in Division I) stands four ahead of record pace set by the 2001 team, which hit 72 home runs in a 62-game schedule (1.16 per game).

        Giovannelli Warming Up
        APSU Baseball - Garrett GiovannelliAfter posting just eight hits in his first nine games, second baseman Garrett Giovannelli has found his groove with 15 hits in his last 10 games. Nine of those hits came in a four-game hit streak (March 12-18) that saw him bat .450 and push his average over .300 for the first time since the opening weekend.

        Seeking To Snap A Streak
        Austin Peay enters the midweek pair against Arkansas State seeking to end its two-game losing streak in midweek outings. The Governors have losses at Tennessee (March 15th) and at Evansville (March 8th) in their last two midweek outings. However, Austin Peay has won its two home midweek outings against Middle Tennessee (February 28th) and Southern Illinois (February 22nd).
