Baseball Downs UT Martin, 3-2, Thursday Afternoon

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Southeast Missouri Baseball (29-24, 16-9 OVC) picked up a big win in Thursday's series opener with UT Martin (20-32, 12-13 OVC) by a final score of 3-2 at Capaha Field. 
 
In a 1-1 game in the eighth inning, short stop Ben Palmer blasted his 16th home run of the season with two outs.  A two-run shot, Palmer put the Redhawks in front 3-1 heading into the final frame. 
 
RHP #7 Kyle Miller became the all-time appearances leader in SEMO Baseball history with his 81st career appearance on the mound, as he picked up his seventh save of the season. 
 
An absolute pitching duel, LHP Haden Dow started the contest as he pitched 6.1 innings of one-run baseball. The Skyhawks could only register one run against the lefty as he struck out three hitters in the outing. 
 
UTM's LHP Tristan Walton pitched 7.0 innings of just one run baseball as the Redhawks could only muster an RBI ground out by Michael Mugan for the only run he allowed. Walton recorded six strikeouts. 
 
The Skyhawks got their first run of the game on a solo home run by right fielder Will Smith in the fifth inning. 
 
Mugan's RBI groundout came in the sixth inning after a perfectly executed sacrifice bunt by Palmer to move Cole Warehime and Brooks Kettering up 90-feet. Mugan was able to put the ball in play to score Warehime to tie it at one after the sixth inning. 
 
UTM would load the bases in the seventh inning as the Redhawks turned to the bullpen. LHP Logan Katen (2-1) would enter the ball game and on the second pitch he threw, he got UTM to ground into and inning-ending double play. 
 
Katen's day finished with a solid outing of 1.2 innings of scoreless, hitless baseball as he struck out one Skyhawk in his outing. 
 
Palmer's blast in the eighth inning would be the difference as he hit his home run off RHP Tucker Reed (4-1) for some big insurance runs to put SEMO in front. 
 
UTM's Smith hit his second home run of the day in the ninth inning, but a flyout to center field ended the day as the Redhawks held on for the 3-2 victory. 
 
Game two of the series is slated for Friday, May 17, from Capaha Field. First pitch is slated for 6 p.m., CT.
