SEMO went over 10 Ohio Valley Conference wins and claimed its fourth series win along the way.
Â
The Redhawks never trailed and used a seven-run seventh inning to blow by MSU in game one.
Â
Ahead, 3-1, SEMO quickly loaded the bases when Paige Halliwill reached on an error and Brooklyn Saysoff and Kat Sackett both walked to start the seventh. Aubrie Shore hit into a fielder's choice and Halliwill scored. On the next play, Brittany Affolter was hit by a pitch. Sackett later touched home on a wild pitch and Gracie Luna hit a grand slam to center putting the Redhawks ahead, 10-1. For Luna, it was the first grand slam of her career.
Â
SEMO scored its first run of the game on an RBI-single by Sackett in the first inning and added two more in the top of the third.
Â
Tatum Gerwitz led off the third with a double to left center and scored on a wild pitch. Halliwill, after being hit by a pitch, came around to score on a single by Sackett.
Â
Paytience Holman (9-8) pitched her fifth complete game of the season striking out a season-best eight and allowing only one run in seven innings.
Â
Sackett went 3-for-3 with a run scored, one walk and two RBI to lead SEMO which finished with eight hits.Â
Â
SEMO keyed its win in the nightcap with another big inning, this time scoring eight runs in the top of the second.
Â
Down, 2-1, Kynzie Wrigley started things off with an infield single, stole second and went to third on a wild pitch. Affolter followed with a bunt single and Wrigley scored. Shortly after Abigail Rickermann stole home, Halliwill launched a two-run home run to right field. Wrigley came up again and delivered a two-RBI single. After that, Sydney Dennis singled up the middle and Wrigley scored to give SEMO a 9-2 advantage.
Â
An inning later, Halliwill stepped and hit her second home run of the game to push the Redhawks lead to 10-4. It was the second two home run game of Halliwill's career.
Â
SEMO scored its final four runs in the sixth inning to complete its shortened six-inning win.
Â
The Redhawks established a new season-high in runs and matched their season-high in hits during their game two victory.
Â
Aubrie Shore went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and one RBI, and Wrigley finished at 2-for-3 with two runs to lead SEMO offensively.
Â
Delaney Kell (2-3) picked up the win in relief. Kell threw 3.1 scoreless no-hit innings out of the bullpen.
Â
SEMO, which has won five of its last six games, wraps up its series against the Eagles Monday.
