ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Southeast Missouri Baseball (10-7) picked up their fourth-straight victory on Wednesday afternoon with an 8-1 victory over Saint Louis (8-8) from Billikens Sports Complex.

RHPs Mason Pennington and Kayden Kohlberg (1-1) stifled the Billikens offense allowing just a combined four hits. In his first start in a Redhawk uniform, Pennington pitched 4.2 innings allowing just one run on three hits. He struck out a season-high four batters in the outing.

Kohlberg picked up his first win of the season in just his third appearance of 2025. He struck out a season-high five strikeouts in 3.1 innings of work. He allowed no runs and just one hit.

The offense jumped out of the gate early with a two-run first inning. After Caleb Corbin led off the game with an infield single and then came across to score on an RBI double by Michael Mugan to make it 1-0 Redhawks.

Two batters later, right fielder Cole Warehime roped a single up the middle to score Mugan with two outs as the Redhawks took a 2-0 lead into the bottom of the first.

After a leadoff walk to Caleb Corbin in the third inning, Bryce Cannon stepped to the plate with two outs. Cannon roped a single to right field to make it 3-0 SEMO for the second RBI with two outs of the contest.

SLU's Austin Neuweg hit a solo home run in the bottom half for the Billikens' only run of the contest.

Corbin and Mugan each homered in the top of the fifth inning. Both left the yard with a solo blast, Mugan's coming with two outs. For Corbin, the blast was his second home run in two days.

The sixth inning featured a pinch-hit at-bat from Gunnar Doyle. With two runners on, Doyle crushed a ball over the right field fence for his first homer of the season to put SEMO up 8-1. The pinch-hit blast was the second of its kind in two-straight games.

RHP Gavin Johnston pitched the bottom of the ninth inning and did not allow a hit to seal the 8-1 victory for the Redhawks.
