MURRAY, Ky. – Head Coach Andy Sawyers picked up his 200^th career victory as the head coach of the Redhawks as Southeast Missouri (19-18) picked up a 15-8 victory over Murray State (22-14) from Johnny Reagan Field on Tuesday afternoon. 
 
Third baseman Caleb Corbin led the Redhawks offense with a pair of home runs finishing 3-for-5 at the plate with 4 RBIs. Corbin hit his second and third home runs of the season and marked the 60^th and 61^st home runs of the season for SEMO. 
 
SEMO pounded out 16 hits and scored 15 runs thanks in-large part to an eight run sixth inning. 
 
RHP Payton Lawrence was sharp in his second-straight Tuesday start. Lawrence, who started last week at Southern Illinois, pitched 2.0 innings without allowing a hit or a run. He faced eight Racers in the outing.  
 
The Redhawks jumped out to a 4-0 lead with a four run third inning where each run was registered with two outs in the inning. 
 
After Ty Stauss reached on an infield single, Josh Cameron was hit with a pitch and third baseman Chance Resetich stepped in. Resetich lined a single into left field to score Stauss from second base for a 1-0 lead.
 
A passed ball by MSU's Alan Roulette allowed Cameron to score to make it 2-0. A walk to Bryce Cannon would bring catcher Nolan Ackerman up and he would rope a double off the center field wall to bring in both Resetich and Cannon to make it 4-0 Redhawks. 
 
In the home half, MSU cut into SEMO's lead with a three-run home run by Dustin Mercer off LHP Ethan Osborne to make it 4-3 Redhawks. 

Another three-run home run by MSU's catcher, Taylor Howell, gave the Racers a six run third inning to take a 6-4 lead into the fourth inning. 
 
The Redhawks utilized a defensive miscue by the Racers in the visitor's fourth inning as Mugan came into score off the bat of Ty Stauss to get to within a run. 

SEMO would score the run in the fourth, and then eight in the sixth, to score nine unanswered runs beginning with Caleb Corbin's second home run of the season. His solo blast tied it in an inning where the Redhawks hit around in the batting order. 
 
With the bases loaded, Bryce Cannon drew a walk and Nolan Ackerman was plunked with a pitch to score two runs. 
 
Designated hitter Keoni Coloma, with the bases loaded, roped a double down the right field line to clear the bases. Corbin's second hit of the inning scored Coloma from second base and the Redhawks led 12-6. 
 
An RBI base hit by Michael Mugan scored the final run of the inning as the Redhawks led 13-6 after the sixth inning. 
 
Corbin's second blast of the day came after a leadoff triple by Coloma in the eighth inning to add two more runs to the board for SEMO as the Redhawks led 15-7 heading to the ninth inning. 
 
The Racers would tack on a run on a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning as SEMO held on for the 15-8 victory on Tuesday.
