EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Southeast Missouri Baseball (17-12) dropped Tuesday's contest at Evansville (10-18) by a final score of 7-6 in a game that lasted three hours and 16 minutes from Charles H. Braun Stadium. 
 
The Redhawks jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning after a leadoff double from Bryce Cannon put SEMO in scoring position early on. A walk to Cole Warehime and a perfectly executed sacrifice bunt by Carson Schrack put Redhawks on second and third with one out. 
 
An RBI groundout from designated hitter Gunnar Doyle score the first-of-six-runs for the Redhawks on Tuesday evening. 
 
A run from UE in the bottom of the second and four runs in the third made it 5-1 Purple Aces, but the Redhawks would not go away responding with a three run, fourth inning.
 
A leadoff single from Schrack and a walk to Doyle brought in third baseman Caleb Corbin with no outs in the fourth. Corbin roped a double just inside the third base bag to score Schrack from second base. 
 
Another SEMO RBI groundout, this one from left fielder Demitri Shakotko scored Doyle from third base to make it 5-3 UE. A wild pitch from UE's pitcher allowed Corbin to come in and score the third and final run of the inning for the Redhawks who trailed 5-4 after the fourth inning. 
 
After a scoreless frame in the fifth and the sixth, Bryce Cannon left the yard for the fourth time this season with an opposite field solo home run to tie it at five after the seventh. 
 
A solo home run from UE in the home half with two outs made it 6-5 Purple Aces heading to the eighth inning. 
 
Another response from SEMO came in the eighth inning with catcher Shea McGahan roping an RBI double into right field with two outs in the frame. McGahan drove in Caleb Corbin from second base to make it 6-6. 
 
UE would score the seventh and final run of the contest in the bottom of the eighth as a slow roller up the middle jumped off the second base bag and into center field to give them the 7-6 victory.
