GREENVILLE, S.C. --The Morehead State Eagles struggled on Sunday, falling to the Austin Peay Governors 10-1 despite the efforts of freshman Jordan Donato, who went 1-for-2.
Freshman Taikibrea Campbell (0-1) got the ball to start for Morehead State (1-13) and took the loss.
At the plate, the Eagles were paced by Donato, who went 1-for-2 on the day.
"We got the bats back working again today and we were able to move a couple of runners around the bases. I thought Sophie Collins did a nice job today," said MSU coach Megan Griffith.
