CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo.- Danny Wright delivered a walk-off two-out, two-RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning to send Southeast Missouri (10-15, 7-2) to a thrilling 11-10 come-from-behind victory over SIU Edwardsville (5-16, 1-8) Sunday.

SEMO was down, 10-7, entering its final at-bat in the ninth inning.

Alex Nielsen led off with a single and Chase Urhahn drew a one-out walk. After Peyton Faulkner struck out, Trevor Ezell walked and Tristen Gagan followed with a two-RBI single. Justin Dirden walked on the next play. Devon Wilson pinch ran for Gagan and came around to score the winning run on Wright's walk-off hit.

Both teams combined for a total of 16 runs in the final two innings of the contest.

SIUE took a 5-4 edge on a three-run home run by Aaron Goecks in the top of the eighth inning and later put up five more after loading the bases with no outs in the ninth. Goecks' home run hovered the foul line, but was ruled fair in the eighth inning.

The Redhawks, however, had late game magic of their own and answered with three runs in the bottom of the eighth before rallying to bury the Cougars for good.

Justin Dirden had a huge day, going 2-for-5 with two home runs, two runs scored, a walk and five RBI. Wright, Nielsen and Connor Basler also had two hits for SEMO which finished with 12 for the day.

Carlos Vega worked six inning in his second-straight Sunday start. Vega gave up a run on three hits, struck out six and walked one.

Six other pitchers took the mound after Vega exited the game in the seventh.

Ryan Losman (1-2) was credited with his first win of the season after coming on to get the final out in the top of the ninth.

Mason McReaken (2-1) suffered the loss. McReaken allowed five runs on four hits, walked three and struck out three in 1.2 innings.

SEMO posted its first series sweep of the season and improved to 7-2 in OVC play.
