CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Southeast Missouri Baseball (17-11, 4-2 OVC) completed the three-game sweep of Western Illinois (6-17, 1-5 OVC) with a 9-5 victory on Saturday evening from Capaha Field.Â
Â
The Redhawks came back to win game three after falling behind 5-0 after the top of the third inning. SEMO got three runs back in the home half with a three-run home run from right fielder Cole Warehime. Warehime's blast marked his sixth of the season as he finished 2-5 at the plate with three RBIs.Â
Â
Trailing 5-3 in the bottom of the fourth inning, an RBI single to center field by Michael Mugan made it 5-4 Leathernecks. Mugan finished the day 4-5 at the plate with two RBIs and a run scored.Â
Â
The Redhawks pulled away in the bottom of the fifth inning thanks to a go-ahead, three run home run from catcher Shea McGahan. McGahan came up following back-to-back walks to Carson Schrack and Ty Stauss and belted his second home run of the season to left center field off LHP Alex Esker.
Â
Mugan's second RBI single of the game came two batters later as he scored Caleb Champion after a walk to make it 8-4 SEMO after the fifth inning.Â
Â
First baseman Bryce Cannon roped an RBI single in the eighth inning for the ninth and final run of the day for the Redhawks to make it 9-5.Â
Â
The SEMO bullpen shut down the Leathernecks after the five run third inning as RHP Eddie White (2-0) pitched 3.1 innings while only allowing a hit. He did not allow a run and struck out one hitter en route to his second victory of 2025.Â
Â
RHP Brian Strange picked up his second save of the season pitching the final 2.1 innings, entering the ball game with a three-run lead. He struck out four hitters to seal the deal.Â
Â
Looking Ahead
SEMO Baseball will return to action on Tuesday, April 1, to take on Evansville for the second time in 2025. First pitch is slated for 6 p.m., CT. in Evansville, Ind.Â
