FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - #4 Southeast Missouri Baseball (36-27) fell in the 2024 NCAA Regional Championship Final on Sunday night to #3 Kansas State (35-24) by a final score of 7-2 from Baum-Walker Stadium.
SEMO finished the season with a 36-27 overall record and represented the Ohio Valley Conference in the NCAA Tournament Regionals after winning the 2024 Ohio Valley Conference Tournament.
The run included victories over #2-seed Louisiana Tech and the national #5-seed Arkansas in Baum-Walker Stadium to advance to the championship round.
The Redhawks, playing in the first regional final in school history, ended the regional with six Redhawks on the All-Fayetteville Regional Team as second baseman Brooks Kettering, outfielder Josh Cameron, designated hitter Ty Stauss, RHP Collin Wilma, RHP Payton Lawrence, and LHP Logan Katen were all selected to the team.
SEMO's bullpen continued its incredible form in the final game as senior pitchers Tommy Windt & Esteban Hernandez finished the final 4.2 innings and did not allow a run.
Combined, the duo gave up just three hits in their final outing in a Redhawk uniform.
The Wildcats jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the second inning after a scoreless first inning by RHP Sam Heyman (5-4).
A walk, a single, and two-straight RBI singles by David Bishop and Danniel Rivera, respectively, gave KSU a 2-0 lead.
An RBI ground out and another RBI single through the right-side made it 4-0 KSU after two innings.
Kansas State scored their seventh and final run with three in the third inning via an RBI single by Bishop to make it 5-0.
A two-RBI single by the Wildcats would make it 7-0 KSU after the third inning.
The Redhawks would fight back with a two-run home run by first baseman Bryce Cannon in the top of the eighth inning. The blast was Cannon's 14th of the season and his 52nd & 53rd RBIs of the season to make it 7-2.
The runs were all SEMO could muster as the Wildcats held on to win the Fayetteville Regional and advance to the NCAA Super Regional round.
