CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Southeast Missouri baseball (23-7, 7-2 OVC) secured the 3-0 series sweep of Ohio Valley Conference rival, Murray State (15-15, 1-8 OVC), with an 11-10 walk-off victory Sunday afternoon at Capaha Field.Â
Â
The 3-0 sweep of Murray State is SEMO's second in league play this season.Â
Â
An offensive slugfest for the entire afternoon, the two teams combined for 21 runs and 30 hits as the Redhawks continued to scratch across runs for the one run victory.Â
Â
Trailing 10-9 in the bottom of the ninth, shortstop Tyler Wilber hit a towering solo home run over the scoreboard in left field to even the game at 10.Â
Â
Wilber finished the day, 3-for-5 at the plate with two runs and a RBI.Â
Â
An Andrew Keck triple off the right-center field wall then put the winning run 90-feet from the plate.
Â
With one out in the frame, center fielder Brett Graber smacked a single up the middle to score Keck and secure the walk-off victory.Â
Â
Graber concluded Sunday, 3-for-5 hitting with two RBI and a run.
Â
Murray State started the scoring in the third inning by putting up three runs.Â
Â
Jake Slunder hit his first of three home runs on the day, a solo shot to right field.Â
Â
Slunder led the Racers, going 3-for-5 with three runs and four RBI.Â
Â
Back-to-back RBI doubles in the inning, extended the Murray State lead to 3-0.
Â
The Racers would add two more runs in the fifth to increase their lead to 5-0 before the Redhawks got on the board. Slunder and Jacob Pennington combined for back-to-back jacks.Â
Â
Designated hitter Spencer Parker then hit a three-run homer to right field to get the Redhawks on the board in the fifth and cut the deficit to 5-3.Â
Â
The long ball was the first for Parker, a junior from Lee's Summit, Missouri, in his career at SEMO.Â
Â
A sacrifice fly from Peyton Leeper put up the fourth SEMO run of the game (5-4), later that frame.Â
Â
Murray State would then add four runs in the next inning off a two-run triple by right fielder Cade Sammons.Â
Â
Slunders' third home run, a two-run shot, regrew the Racers advantage to 9-4.Â
Â
From there the Redhawks would score runs in every inning but the eighth to chip away at the Racers lead.Â
Â
In the sixth inning, Ty Stauss hit a single to left to score Lincoln Andrews. Parker added an infield single to score Brett Graber and bring the margin to 9-6.Â
Â
Jevon Mason then hit a sacrifice fly to center field, scoring Parker, and the Redhawks trailed 9-7 going to the seventh inning.Â
Â
Murray State got a run back in the top of the seventh via an Alex Crump single to left field. Seth Gardner would come into score on the play, making it a 10-7 Racers advantage.Â
Â
SEMO would respond with the next four runs to pull off the comeback. Â
Â
In the bottom of the seventh, SEMO scored on a RBI groundout by Lincoln Andrews and a Graber single to short that plated Tyler Wilber and Andrew Keck, respectively to make the deficit just one (10-9) heading to the ninth.
Â
Tommy Windt started for SEMO, going four innings, allowing five runs on eight hits. He compiled five strikeouts.Â
Â
SEMO then handed the game to its bullpen with Anthony Klein, Austin Williams, Hunter Ralls, Blake Cisneros and Kyle Miller closing it out.Â
Â
Miller earned the win to improve to 5-2 in 2022, allowing just one hit in a shutout inning of work.Â
Â
Cisneros registered a pair of strikeouts, scattering a hit over 1.1 innings on the bump.Â
Â
Malik Pogue was assessed the loss for Murray State. Starter Jacob Pennington went five innings, allowing four runs on five hits.Â
Â
Keck and Parker both finished with two hits apiece. Parker knocked in four runs Sunday.Â
Â
The Redhawks will next host regional rival Southern Illinois Tuesday, at 6 p.m., CT at Capaha Field.Â
