MOREHEAD, Ky. - Morehead State (6-15, 3-3) swept Southeast Missouri (6-16, 1-3) in a doubleheader Sunday at University Field. The Eagles won by scores of 7-6 and 7-4.

Southeast, which was swept in a doubleheader for the third time in five days, let a three-run lead slip away in game one.

Kelsey Gass scored on a sacrifice fly by Carpenter to give the Redhawks a 4-1 advantage in the second.

MSU, after slicing Southeast's lead to a run in the bottom of the second, took its first lead when it pushed across four runs in the third. Katie Raile singled to right field and went to second on a bunt single by Samantha Howard. Raile and Howard both scored on a one-out single by Jamie Massaro. The Eagles kept their rally alive with a pair of run-scoring hits with two outs. Lizzy Margagliotti doubled home Nikki Hinkley and Stephanie Etter knocked in Margagliotti on a single to get MSU a 7-4 lead.

Southeast made it a one-run game in the top of the fifth.

Duncan doubled to left center and went to third on Meaghan Touchette's ensuing base hit. Touchette then stole second to give the Redhawks runners at second and third with one out. Chelsea Smith followed with a single allowing Duncan and Touchette to score, dicing the Eagles lead to 7-6.

Southeast had the winning run at the plate in both the sixth and seventh innings, but came up empty.

The Redhawks and Eagles dueled to a 4-4 tie after three innings before MSU scored three unearned runs to pull ahead for good.
