CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Sydney Dennis scored the game-winning run on an error with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning to give Southeast Missouri (21-21, 15-6) a 1-0 walk-off victory over Lindenwood (24-19, 12-9) Sunday.
Â
SEMO completed a series sweep of the Lions with three shutout victories. For the Redhawks, it was their third-straight series win and third series sweep this season.
Â
Runs were tough to get in a well-pitched game by both teams.
Â
The Redhawks, however, executed with small ball to set up their decisive run late.
Â
Dennis started the bottom half of the seventh with a bunt single and went to second when Brooklyn Saysoff slapped a single to second. After Tatum Gerwitz flied out, Brittany Affolter laid down a bunt back to pitcher Avery Wapp. Wapp scooped up the ball but overthrew first baseman Tori Hatton and Dennis touched home on the error giving the Redhawks their 21st win.
Â
Freshmen Tegan Livesay and Maddie Carney combined on the six-hit shutout. Livesay worked three scoreless innings with one strikeout and allowed three hits.
Â
Carney (5-4) relieved Livesay in the fourth inning and scattered just three hits in the final four frames to get the win.
Â
Kat Sackett went 2-for-3 to lead SEMO, which outhit LU, 7-6.
Â
Abigail Rickermann, Paige Halliwill, Dennis, Saysoff and Affolter added one hit each.
Â
SEMO, now in sole possession of second place in the Ohio Valley Conference standings, is on a season-best six-game winning streak. The Redhawks heated up to win eight of their last nine contests.
Â
The Redhawks head to former OVC member Murray State for a midweek matchup on Apr. 23.
