COOKEVILLE, TENN.- Southeast Missouri (20-23, 14-9) dropped the series to #20 Tennessee Tech (37-5, 19-1) in a 1-6 despite holding the Golden Eagles to no extra base hits. Trevor Ezell (3-4) doubled in the first inning to give the Redhawks their only run of the day. 
 
All of Tennessee Tech's hits were singles, four of which fell in the infield. The Golden Eagles gained the lead in the third inning with four hits to make it 1-2 Tech. TTU started the half-inning with four consecutive hits. This was followed up with three fly balls. 
 
TTU extended the lead in the fifth inning with three singles and a walk. This was once again followed up by three quick outs to end the inning. The Golden Eagles still pushed the lead to 5-1 during this inning. 
 
Trevor Ezell finished the day with a double, two singles and a walk. His last at-bat was a groundout to the first basemen.
