HAMMOND, La. – Southeast Missouri (6-2) wrapped up the Lion Classic II with a pair of one-run wins Sunday. The Redhawks edged Buffalo, 7-6, in extra innings and Alcorn State, 3-2.
 
Freshman Claudia Gallo delivered a two-RBI game-winning single in the bottom of the eighth to send SEMO to its comback win over Buffalo.
 
Tied, 4-4, after seven innings, Buffalo pushed across two runs in the top of the eighth inning when Alyssa Cuevas was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and Essence Savinon hit a RBI-single.
 
With the international tiebreaker rule in effect, Sarah Messex singled to right to advance Parker Bandy to third. Abby Tillotson followed with a single to center and Bandy scored.
 
After a balk moved Messex to third and Tillotson to second, Brittany Stevens entered the game as a pinch-runner. Gallo then stepped in and ripped her walk-off hit to center field as Stevens and Messex scored to give SEMO the win.
 
The Redhawks trailed, 4-2, entering the bottom of the seventh, but plated two runs to send the game to extra innings. Addison Barnouski drew a bases loaded walk which scored Brooke Rheinecker. Mykaela Arellanes touched home when Ashley Ellis grounded out to first, tying the game.
 
Alexis Estes improved to 2-0, striking out three in six innings out of the bullpen. Estes allowed five hits, three runs and did not give up a walk.
 
Bobbi Langlois suffered the loss for Buffalo. Langlois went the distance, giving up seven runs, 11 hits and four walks. She struck out three, as well.
 
Nine different Redhawks had a hit with Tillotson and Ellis paving the way. Tillotson went 2-for-3 with a run scored, two-run homer and three RBIs, while Ellis was 2-for-4 with a run scored.
 
Cuevas, Savinon and Jessica Goldyn had two hits apiece for the Bulls.
 
SEMO carried a 3-0 lead into the top of the seventh inning against Alcorn State.
 
The Braves, however, made things interesting when they capitalized on two errors to score a pair of unearned runs. Estes recorded the final out to secure her first career save.
 
SEMO scored twice in the bottom of the first and once in the third to build its lead.
 
Arellanes stole home and Ellis knocked in Madison Harris on a double to left field in the first, while Barnouski scored Rachel Anderson on a two-out single in the third.
 
Madeline Krumrey (3-1) picked up her team-high third win of the season. Krumrey tossed five shutout innings and struck out three.
 
Maddie Creed took the loss after giving up three runs on nine hits in six innings.
 
Anderson and Bandy collected two hits each to lead the Redhawk offense.
 
SEMO finished the Lion Classic II on a three-game winning streak and returns to action when it travels to Alcorn State for a doubleheader on Feb. 25.
