SPRINGFIELD, Mo.– Southeast Missouri Baseball (14-15, 5-1 OVC) fell on Tuesday afternoon to Missouri State (11-15, 1-5 MVC) by a final score of 10-3 at Hammons Field. 
 
The Redhawks struggled offensively, registering only five hits by five different Redhawks and scored just three runs. Third baseman Caleb Corbin recorded the only RBI of the game in the first inning. 
 
SEMO jumped out to an early 1-0 lead after a leadoff single by second baseman Brooks Kettering got the game started. Short stop Ben Palmer laid down a sacrifice bunt to move Kettering over and reached base via an error to put runners on first and second. 
 
A 2-out RBI single from third baseman Caleb Corbin plated Kettering and the Redhawks scored the first run of the game after doing it all weekend against SIUE.

LHP Ethan Osborne settled in over the next two innings, holding MSU to zero runs. The Bears would load the bases as part of a four-run fourth inning and took a 7-1 lead into the fifth inning. 
 
Designated hitter Keoni Coloma led off the fifth inning with a triple to the left center gap to put the Redhawks' second run, 90-feet from the plate. A wild pitch would score him and after the SEMO fifth, the Redhawks trailed 7-2.
