DELAND, Fla. (Interstat) — The Austin Peay Governors will face the Jacksonville Dolphins in the ASUN Baseball Championship on Tuesday afternoon at a neutral site here. The game, scheduled for May 19, 2026, pits the seed Governors (24-30 overall) against the seed Dolphins (29-24).

Austin Peay arrives having lost six of its last seven games, including a 8-4 defeat at North Alabama on Saturday. The Governors’ pitching staff has struggled, allowing at least seven runs in four of those contests. Right-hander Drew DeLucia is a key arm out of the bullpen; in his past three outings – all losses – he has thrown 7 innings, allowed 6 earned runs and struck out 6 while yielding just 1 hit. DeLucia gave up 3 earned runs in 4 innings against North Alabama on May 16.

Jacksonville, meanwhile, has won three of its last four, capped by a 2-1 home victory over Florida Gulf Coast on Saturday. The Dolphins’ bullpen has been steady, and left-hander Benjamin BakerLivingston has been a reliable reliever. In his most recent appearance against FGCU, he threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings, striking out 2 without a hit. In his previous outing May 5 at Florida State, he allowed 2 earned runs in 4 innings.

Offensively, the Governors have been inconsistent. First baseman Houston Hebert drove in both runs in Saturday’s loss, going 1-for-4. The Dolphins counter with a balanced attack; in their series win over FGCU, pitchers Payton Waters and Gavin Dicks combined for 4 2/3 innings of 1-run ball.

The Interstat game simulator projects a 4-3 Jacksonville victory. First pitch is set for the afternoon, with clear skies expected. The winner advances in the double-elimination tournament.
