Redhawks Lose on Walkoff Hit in the Ninth

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Kyle Ouellette hit a walkoff single with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to give Memphis (2-5) a 3-2 win over Southeast Missouri (2-7) Tuesday in midweek action at FedExPark.

SEMO led, 2-1, entering the bottom of the ninth inning when Alec Trela led off with a single to right field. The Redhawks made a pitching change after Trela's hit with Carlos Vega replacing Ryan Losman on the mound.

Nick Vaage walked and Trela advanced to second. On the next play, Evan Bell hit into a fielder's choice and Trela was out at third. Colton Neel walked to load the bases after that. Ouelette then stepped in and ripped a first-pitch single to right field. Vaage and Neel both scored on the hit sending the Tigers to victory.

Ouellette's game-winner came after the Redhawks took a 2-1 advantage on a two-out, two-RBI single by Trevor Ezell in the top of the eighth. Danny Wright and Connor Basler scored on Ezell's clutch hit. Wright was hit by a pitch and Basler walked to get on base.

Left-hander Danny Denz and right-hander Ashton Holyfield engaged in a strong pitcher's duel through six innings.

Holyfield, in his second midweek start for SEMO, gave up only three hits and a run, while striking out four. 

Denz had a nearly identical line scattering three hits and striking out four in six scoreless frames.

Reliever Ryan Losman was charged with the first run of the game in the bottom of the seventh. Vaage, who led off the inning with a walk, came around to score with the help of two wild pitches.

Vega (1-1) suffered the loss after walking two and giving up one run on one hit in one-third of an inning.

Blake Bennett (1-0) was credited with the win out of Memphis' bullpen. Bennett struck out two and allowed two hits in 1.1 scoreless innings.

Ezell, who ran his hitting streak to nine games, went 2-for-3 with two RBI to lead SEMO. Wright, Justin Dirden and Chase Urhahn followed with one hit apiece.

The Redhawks host South Dakota State this weekend. SEMO and SDSU open a three-game series Friday.
