Redhawks Drop Heartbreaker to Southern Illinois, 7-6

CARBONDALE, Ill. - Southeast Missouri (14-9) held a three-run lead heading into the bottom of the seventh inning, but Southern Illinois (24-5) scored four times in its final at-bat to pull off a 7-6 come-from-behind win Tuesday.
 
SIU's late rally was capped by a two-RBI walk-off double by Anna Carder with one out in the bottom of the seventh. The four-run inning came right after SEMO scored four runs in the sixth and another in the top of the seventh.
 
Down, 3-0, Aubrie Shore got the Redhawks on the board with a solo home run in the top half of the fourth inning. Shore's team-high fourth round-tripper of the season pulled SEMO within two.
 
Two innings later, SEMO took its first lead with the help of its big sixth inning. Sydney Melton and Alyson Tucker each walked. Aubrie Shore reached on a fielder's choice and Zoe Schulte pinch ran for her. Kynzie Wrigley walked to load the bases and Brittany Affolter followed with a double to left center scoring both Schulte and Melton to tie the game.
 
On the next play, Marissa Peek delivered a pinch-hit single to knock in Wrigley and Affolter putting the Redhawks ahead, 5-3.
 
SEMO tacked on one final run in the seventh when Melton singled to score Paige Halliwill pushing its lead to 6-3.
 
Emma Austin drew a leadoff walk to start the Salukis' turn in the seventh. Aubree DePron and Jackie Lis both singled, and Austin scored on Lis' hit. Rylie Hamilton reached on a fielder's choice giving SIU runners at first and third with one out. Elizabeth Harwick's single made it a one-run game before Crader stepped in to end the game.
 
Delaney Kell (7-4) suffered the loss in relief. Kell gave up four runs on five hits and walked two in 2.1 innings.
 
SEMO had eight hits with Affolter going 2-for-3 with a run scored and two RBI to lead the way. Halliwill, Melton, Shore, Peek, Sydney Dennis and Tatum Gerwitz added one hit each.
 
SIU's two-through-six hitters consisting of DePron (2), Lis (1), Hamilton (2), Warwick (2) and Crader (2) combined for nine of the Salukis' 11 hits.
 
SEMO and SIU met for the 97th time. The win improved the Salukis' home record to 14-0 this season. Neither SIU or SEMO (6-0) has lost a home game thus far.
 
The Redhawks return to Ohio Valley Conference play for a three-game series at Tennessee Tech this weekend.
