OXFORD, Ala. – LHP Haden Dow (1-1) picked up his first victory of the season as Southeast Missouri Baseball (3-3) rattled Northern Illinois (2-4) by a final score of 11-1 in eight innings in the series finale on Sunday evening.Â
Â
Dow pitched an impressive 5.0 innings in the outing with a season-high eight strikeouts. The final five hitters that Dow faced all fell victim to a strikeout. Dow allowed just one hit in the outing while just one unearned run came into score.Â
Â
The Redhawks got on the board first in the bottom of the first inning after a one-out double by Michael Mugan to right field put a Redhawk in scoring position. Left fielder Ty Stauss drilled a single up the middle to drive in Mugan. For Stauss, the RBI was the first of the season as he finished 2-4 with the RBI, a run scored, and a walk.Â
Â
SEMO's biggest inning came in the third inning beginning with a leadoff double by short stop Andrew Ramirez. A perfectly executed sacrifice bunt by Brooks Kettering moved Ramirez to third base before an RBI single by Michael Mugan plated the second run of the game.
Â
Stauss' second hit of the ball game put Redhawks on first and second with just one out against NIU's starting pitcher Max Vaisvila (1-1). After a SEMO strikeout, Bryce Cannon grounded a ball to the NIU second baseman who booted it allowing Mugan to come into score from second base.Â
Â
After Cole Warehime was hit-by-a-pitch, third baseman Mikey Rocha roped a single to left field to drive in two RBIs as the Redhawks blew the game open to make it 5-1 SEMO.Â
A single from Shea McGahan loaded the bases bringing Ramirez back to the plate as he blasted his second double of the inning, a bases clearing double to make it 8-1 SEMO after the third inning.Â
Â
From there, it was all Redhawks pitching as Dow completed 5.0 innings and was removed for LHP Jackson Kranawetter.Â
Â
Kranawetter, making his second appearance in 2025, pitched 2.0 innings of scoreless baseball allowing just one NIU hit. He punched out four Huskies over seven hitters.Â
Â
RHP #31 Gavin Johnston sealed the deal with 1.0 innings of scoreless baseball, recording a strikeout. On the day, SEMO pitching totaled 13 strikeouts.Â
The Redhawks would add three more runs to seal the eighth inning victory as Brooks Kettering roped a fifth inning double that brought in Ramirez and Warehime to score. Bryce Cannon recorded a walkoff single in the bottom of the eighth inning to seal the 11-1 victory.Â
Â
Looking Ahead
SEMO Baseball will be back in action for a midweek contest at Arkansas State. First pitch is slated for 3 p.m. in Jonesboro, Arkansas on Wednesday, February 26.Â
