JACKSONVILLE, Ala. – Southeast Missouri Baseball (11-9) dropped a heartbreaking game three to Jacksonville State (13-7) by a final score of 5-4 on Sunday afternoon in 10 innings. 
 
The Redhawks led the entire duration of the contest until a two out, bottom of the ninth home run from JSU tied it at 4-4. The Gamecocks would record an RBI single in the bottom of the 10^th inning to steal the series. 
 
Left fielder Ty Stauss led the way for the Redhawks finishing 3-5 at the plate with a pair of doubles and an RBI. First baseman Bryce Cannon recorded a pair of doubles as well as the duo finished with multi-hit days. 
 
LHP Haden Dow (No Decision) had a phenomenal start on Sunday afternoon. Dow pitched 7.1 innings, allowing just two runs on seven hits. He struck out seven Gamecocks over 27 batters faced. 
 
The Redhawks jumped out to a 3-0 lead with a three-run third inning. After a leadoff single by Shea McGahan, a walk to Andrew Ramirez and a bunt single from Brooks Kettering loaded the bases with no outs. 
 
During Caleb Corbin's at-bat, catcher's interference was called on JSU's catcher to deliver the game's first run. A two-RBI single from Michael Mugan made it 3-0 SEMO after the third inning. 
 
A solo home run from JSU in the home half of the third made it 3-1 SEMO heading to the fourth inning. 
 
The Redhawks would get that run back in the fifth inning after SEMO had Back-to-back HBPs to Mugan and Cannon. A wild pitch moved both runners up 90-feet before two-straight strikeouts brought Stauss to the plate. 
 
Stauss roped a ball in between the first and second baseman and beat the throw to drive in Mugan for an RBI single to make it 4-1 SEMO. 
 
But the Gamecocks would add another solo home run in the seventh, a two-run home run in the ninth, and an RBI single in the 10^th to take the game 5-4.
