CAPAHA FIELD – Southeast Missouri (23-19, 11-4 OVC) snapped a six-game losing streak to Southern Illinois (23-18, 10-5 MVC) on Tuesday night in front of a big crowd at Capaha Field. The Redhawks scored two in the first, two in the sixth, and two in the eighth to win the game 6-2.
RHP Payton Lawrence bounced back Tuesday night as the right-hander pitched 6.1 innings, allowing just two runs on three hits, and struck out seven over 26 batters faced.
Chance Resetich got the Redhawks on the board two hitters into the first inning following a leadoff double by left fielder Jevon Mason.
Resetich hit his fifth home run of the season off SIU starting pitcher Tanner Perry (1-2) to left field to give the Redhawks a 2-0 advantage.
For Resetich, the home run accounted for RBIs 36 and 37 on the season.
The Salukis would tie it with a single run in the second and third inning. Matt Schark singled to right-center field and left fielder Pier-Olivier Boucher hit a solo home run to left-center as the game was tied at two into the sixth inning.
With two outs and the bases-loaded in the Redhawks' sixth inning, center fielder Brett Graber came in clutch with a single to center field to score Mason and Josh Cameron to regain the lead.
Graber finished the day going 1-for-3 with a pair of RBIs and a run scored.
Lincoln Andrews and Danny Sperling provided SEMO with a pair of insurance runs with a sacrifice fly and an RBI single, respectively, to give SEMO a 6-2 lead heading to the ninth inning.
SIU made It interesting in the ninth, getting back-to-back singles off RHP Gavin Johnston.
Johnston had a great night out of the pen in relief of Lawrence as the freshman pitched 1.2 innings of scoreless baseball. He allowed just three hits and struck out four.
The Redhawks would turn to RHP Kyle Miller after the back-to-back singles. Miller came in and struck out Schark looking for the first out in the inning.
A bunt single by SIU's Mathieu Vallee loaded the bases, but Miller would end the threat with back-to-back swinging strikeouts to pick up his sixth save of the season.
The Redhawks will be back in action this weekend, April 28-30, when they return to Ohio Valley Conference action hosting Lindenwood. First pitch on Friday, April 28 is slated for 6 p.m., CT. from Capaha Field.
