ROBERT SMITH | APSU ATHLETICS
A steady staff on the mound has ultimately correlated to the success – or demise – of APSU baseball this season.
In the month of April, the Governors had just one win when their opposition scored 10 or more runs in a game. Conversely, they were crowned victors in five of six games last month when pitchers allowed six or fewer runs.
Heading into Tuesday’s midweek match against North Alabama, the pitching corps was trending in the right direction with an earned run average of 3.80 over their past seven contests.
Against the Lions, Southeast Missouri State and Arkansas State, the Govs gave up double digit runs in four of five games. The pitching staff’s ERA in that span skyrocketed to 12.21. APSU won a thriller against UNA on Tuesday, but dropped the next four to close out the week.
