CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Southeast Missouri Baseball (22-23) fell on Tuesday night to non-conference opponent, Evansville (25-19), by a final score of 7-6 at Capaha Field. 
 
Trailing 3-0 going into the eighth inning, the Redhawks rallied back for a four-run inning to capture the lead. With the bases loaded, SEMO drew three-straight walks to tie it at three. 
 
Catcher Nolan Ackerman followed behind the walks with an RBI groundout to the first baseman to give SEMO its first lead of the game as the Redhawks took a 4-3 lead into the ninth inning. 
 
With two outs in the ninth inning, a single to right field by Cal McGinnis off RHP Kyle Miller (3-2) put the tying run on base. UE would regain the lead with a two-run home run to left field by Mark Shallenberger. 
 
Another two-run home run after a walk to Kip Fougerousse, this one by UE's first baseman Chase Hug, gave the Aces a three-run, 7-4, lead heading into the bottom of the ninth. 
 
SEMO would not go quietly. Two straight walks to Ben Palmer and Michael Mugan from RHP Max Hansmann (1-1) would get a ninth inning rally started. 
 
Left fielder Ty Stauss continued the rally with an infield single to the second baseman and the Redhawks had the bases loaded with no outs in the final frame. 
 
After a strikeout, third baseman Caleb Corbin stepped in and dropped a single into left field to score both Mugan and Palmer to get within a run. 
 
Keoni Coloma reached base via a fielder's choice, but Ian Riley (pinch-runner) was ruled out at third base on the force out to force the Redhawks to their final out. 
 
A strikeout ended the ball game as UE held on for the 7-6 victory on Tuesday night. 
 
Caleb Corbin and Nolan Ackerman each finished with a multi-hit game. Corbin finished 2-for-3 with three RBIs and Ackerman was 2-for-4 with an RBI.
