Late Inning Rally and Dominant Bullpen Key Redhawks 4-1 Win Over Saint Louis

ST. LOUIS – Southeast Missouri (18-5) rallied for four runs in the final three innings and its bullpen pitched seven scoreless innings in a come-from-behind 4-1 win over Saint Louis (12-10) Tuesday.

SEMO completed a two-game season sweep of SLU with its late inning victory.
 
The Redhawks started their surge in the seventh when Joel Vaske singled through the right side to score Brett Graber and tie the game at 1-1. Graber led off the inning with a walk before touching home on Vaske's hit.
 
With one out and a runner in scoring position after Jevon Mason singled and stole second, Peyton Leeper was hit by a pitch. Tyler Wilber stepped in and ripped his seventh double of the season down the left field line to grab the Redhawks their first lead. Mason and Leeper both scored on the play giving SEMO a 3-1 advantage.
 
Lincoln Andrews led off the ninth with a double of his own and scored the game's final run on a one-out single by Spencer Parker. For Parker, it was the first RBI-hit of his NCAA Division I career.

SEMO's bullpen dominated the last seven innings of the contest and, as a result, did not allow a run for the fourth game in a row. 
 
Relievers Alex Esker and Anthony Klein were outstanding. Esker worked 3.1 innings of scoreless one-hit baseball and recorded seven fly ball outs along the way.
 
Meanwhile, Klein, a St. Louis native, earned his first career win. He did not allow a hit, struck out five and walked none in 3.2 innings. Klein retired the Billikens in order in the ninth, as well.
 
The Redhawk bullpen has now pitched 19.1 consecutive scoreless innings, all of which came during SEMO's current four-game winning streak.
 
Offensively, SEMO outhit SLU, 7-3. It marked the 12th time the Redhawks outhit their opponent this season. SEMO is 12-0 in those contests. Additionally, the Redhawks finished the month of March with a 13-4 record.
 
Mason and Parker paved the way with two hits each, while Wilber, Vaske and Andrews followed close behind with one apiece. 
 
SEMO wraps up its four-game road trip with a three-game Ohio Valley Conference series at Austin Peay (Apr. 1-3) this weekend.
