CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Southeast Missouri (6-10) blasted three home runs in Saturday's contest as the Redhawks took game two of the series with Butler (2-13) by a final score of 7-2.

SEMO's offense recorded 10 hits and seven runs batted in as the Redhawks picked up their second-straight victory and evened the overall series with Butler at 2-2.

Jevon Mason, Chance Resetich, and Peyton Leeper were responsible for the homeruns in Saturday's contest, all coming in the fourth inning.

For Mason and Leeper, the blasts were their first of the season. Leeper's came from the right side of the plate off Butler starting pitcher Cole Graverson (0-2).

Jevon blasted one the opposite way over the right-center field fence for a two-run shot to give the Redhawks a 7-1 lead midway through the game.

Mason led the Redhawks offense Saturday going 2-for-3 including 3 RBI, a homerun, and two runs scored.

Centerfielder Josh Cameron and second baseman Chance Resetich each had two hits apiece.

The Redhawks got on the board early in the contest with a RBI single by Lincoln Andrews, with the bases loaded after a leadoff base knock (Gunnar Doyle), and back-to-back walks (Mason, Josh Cameron).

Andrews flare into left field plated designated hitter Gunnar Doyle. Making his second-straight start in right field, Carlos Aranda drove in the second run of the game with an RBI sacrifice fly to left field to plate Mason.

Butler would answer in the top of the second inning with a solo blast from second baseman Ian Choi off Redhawks starter Collin Wilma (1-1). The homerun would prove to be the Bulldogs' only run until the ninth inning.

Wilma, who recorded his first win of the season, pitched four complete innings for the Redhawks including four stirkeouts over 17 batters.

SEMO's bullpen was lights out in the contest pitching the final five innings, and despite a ninth inning run, pitched a shutout.

Esteban Hernandez and Eddie White combined to pitch three innings, allowing just four hits, and recording four strikeouts as the middle-relievers faced 13 Bulldog batters.

RHP Jonah Sarabia and Michael Laudando finished up the eighth and ninth innings as the pair recorded three strikeouts over eight batters.

The Bulldogs would score an unearned run in the top of the ninth inning due to an error on second baseman Chance Resetich to make the score 7-2.

SEMO will go for the series-sweep on Sunday, March 12, at Capaha Field. LHP Haden Dow will get the nod for the Redhawks as first pitch is slated for 1 p.m, CT. in Cape Girardeau.
