COLUMBIA, Mo. – Southeast Missouri Baseball (3-6) picked up its third win of the season on Tuesday evening at Southeastern Conference member Missouri (4-4) by a final score of 8-3 in a lightning-shortened ball game.

The game was paused in the eighth inning due to lightning in the area and was never resumed from that point on.

The Redhawks pounded out seven hits against eight different Missouri pitchers to pick up their first win against Missouri since 2017. The win marked the second against the in-state foe for Head Coach Andy Sawyers.

RHP Sam Heyman (1-0) made his second start of the season on Tuesday night. The right-hander pitched 4.0 innings, surrendering just two runs (one earned) on four Missouri hits. Heyman struck out three in his outing. Heyman recorded his first win in a Redhawk uniform.

First baseman Bryce Cannon clobbered SEMO's first grand slam of the season in a six run fifth inning off Missouri's RHP Miles Garrett. For Cannon, the blast was his third of the season. Cannon finished the day 2-for-5 at the plate with two hits and four RBIs.

The Redhawks got on the board in the second inning with a leadoff home run from third baseman Chance Resetich on the first pitch of his at-bat. For Resetich, the blast was his first home run of the season and gave SEMO a 1-0 lead after the second.

A ground ball double play with the bases loaded in the third inning would plate the second run of the contest for the Redhawks.

After the third inning, SEMO had a 2-0 lead over the Tigers.

SEMO blew the game open in the fifth inning with a six-run inning thanks in large part to Cannon's grand slam.

Missouri would plate two runs in the home half, but that was all the Tigers could muster as the SEMO bullpen had a nice outing.

RHP Payton Lawrence pitched a flawless inning out of the pen. The right-hander faced four hitters and did not allow a hit. He struck out one-of-the-four hitters.

Gavin Johnston and LHP Ethan Osborne combined for the final 2.0 innings as the duo allowed just two hits and one run. Osborne recorded a strikeout in the outing.

Looking Ahead
SEMO Baseball will be back in action for a four-game set this weekend against Toledo. First pitch is slated for 3 p.m., CT. at Capaha Field.
