3/8/2022 10:49:00 PM | Baseball
JONESBORO, Ark. – Andrew Keck went 3-for-6 with a pair of doubles, a run scored and three RBI to lead Southeast Missouri (10-1) to its eighth-straight win, a 14-6 victory over Arkansas State (4-6) Tuesday night at Tomlinson Stadium.
Â
SEMO, which leads the Ohio Valley Conference and ranks eighth in the nation in walks, walked a season-high 13 times. The Redhawks also had seven extra base hits against the Red Wolves.
Â
Rain caused the game to start 50 minutes later than its originally scheduled 6 p.m. first pitch.Â
Â
SEMO became the third team in the OVC to win 10 games this season joining Tennessee Tech (10-0) and Belmont (10-3). The Redhawks are on their longest winning streak since the 2016 club won 11 in a row from Mar. 18-Apr. 5. Additionally, SEMO scored double-digit runs for the seventh-straight contest.
Â
SEMO trailed, 3-0, before it got its bats going in the top of the third.
Â
Jevon Mason and Peyton Leeper slugged back-to-back home runs to ignite a four-run five-hit inning. Mason drove a 1-0 pitch over the left field wall for his fourth of the season and Leeper sent his second round-tripper of the year down the right field line.
Â
Following a Tyler Wilber strikeout, three-straight two-out doubles led to two more runs. Andrew Keck doubled to right center and scored on Lincoln Andrews' double down the right field line. Andrews scored the go-ahead run to give the Redhawks a 4-3 edge on Brett Graber's double to left center.
Â
ASU answered to regain a one-run lead in the bottom of the third. Will French singled to left, went to second on a base hit by Ben Klutts, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on a groundout Mickey Coyne. On the next play, Jaylon Deshazier singled home Klutts to put the Red Wolves ahead, 5-4.
Â
SEMO, which leads the Ohio Valley Conference in walks, used four bases on balls and a two-out, two-RBI single by Keck to grab a 6-5 advantage in the top half of the fourth inning. Ben Palmer, Leeper, Wilber and Andrews all walked in the inning.
Â
An inning later, SEMO blew the game open.
Â
Vaske reached on a leadoff walk and moved to second on a nice bunt single by Danny Sperling. With one out, Mason Walked and Vaske scored on a wild pitch after that. Wilber then delivered a two-RBI single with Mason and Sperling both scoring on the play. Leeper later scored on an error to widen SEMO's lead to 10-5.
Â
The Redhawks capitalized on a second error by ASU when they came to the plate in the top of the seventh. Mason reached on a fielding error by second baseman Daedrick Call. Mason moved into scoring position on a walk by Wilber and scored on an ensuing double by Keck. Andrews grounded out and Wilber scored to make it 12-5 in favor of SEMO.
Â
Palmer accounted for SEMO's fifth double to bring home Spencer Parker who singled before him in the eighth inning. A third ASU error allowed Parker to score giving the Redhawks a 14-6 lead.
Â
Austin Williams (1-1) picked up the win in relief. Williams retired seven in a row and 10 of the 11 hitters he faced. Williams struck out four and allowed only one hit in 3.1 scoreless innings out of the bullpen.
Â
Kyle Miller recorded three fly ball outs to close out the victory strong.
Â
Offensively, SEMO outhit ASU, 11-9.
