Baseball Falls in Extra Innings, 6-5, Wednesday Night

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Southeast Missouri Baseball (7-11) fell in extra innings to Evansville (8-8) by a final score of 6-5 on Wednesday night from Charles H. Braun Stadium. 
 
UE plated the game-winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning with an RBI single to left field by Harrison Taubert to seal the win. 
 
Offensively, SEMO pounded out 11 hits led by center fielder Michael Mugan who finished 4-for-5 at the plate with his fifth and sixth home run of the season and three RBIs. He also scored a pair of runs. 
 
LHP Alex Hayes started on the mound and cruised through the first two innings of the ball game. He pitched 2.2 innings on Wednesday night, surrendering three runs on four hits. He punched out three Purple Aces over 13 hitters. 
 
The Redhawks got on the board in the first frame with back-to-back home runs with one out in the first inning. Short stop Ben Palmer hit a towering home run over the left field fence off UE's Kevin Reed. 
 
Center fielder Michael Mugan answered Palmer's solo shot with his own as the Redhawks jumped out to an early 2-0 lead.
 
SEMO would add to the scoreboard with a two-run third inning thanks to Mugan's second home run of the game. 
 
Second baseman Brooks Kettering led off the inning with a single through the right side of the infield. Palmer would ground out to third base to advance Kettering 90-feet, bringing in Mugan. 
 
Mugan crushed his sixth home run of the season, and his second of the game, to straightaway center field off Reed for the second time, to give SEMO a 4-0 lead after the top half of the third. 
 
UE would get on the board in the home half. A leadoff single by UE's right fielder Harrison Taulbert got the offense going for the Purple Aces. An RBI double by Cal McGinnis would plate the first run of the contest for UE. 
 
The second RBI double of the inning got the second run of the game across for UE, this one by Brent Widder. A single by Brendan Hord plated the third run of the inning and after the third, SEMO led 4-3. 
 
With two outs in the fourth inning, SEMO would plate its fifth run of the game off the bat of Kettering. Kettering drilled a single into center field to score designated hitter Gavin Baldwin from second base to grow SEMO's lead to two. 
 
UE responded with a two-run fifth inning to tie the game at five and after six innings, the game was knotted at five. 
 
A scoreless ballgame over the final three innings of regulation helped in large part by RHP Eddie White (0-1) who pitched 3.1 innings, his longest outing of the season. He recorded two strikeouts in his outing. 
 
UE recorded 12 hits in the ball game as five Aces had multi-hit days. 
 
Looking Ahead
SEMO Baseball will be back in action on Friday, March 15, when they welcome in Western Kentucky. First pitch is slated for 6 p.m., CT. at Capaha Field.
