Cannon Walks it Off for the Redhawks 7-6 Win Over Eastern Illinois

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. - Southeast Missouri Baseball (21-15, 8-4 OVC) wins Game three 7-6 against Eastern Illinois (15-17, 6-5 OVC) by a Bryce Cannon walk-off home run in the bottom of the 11th inning. 

With the score tied 6-6 in the 11th, Bryce Cannon stepped up to the plate with two outs. Cannon waited on the first two pitches, then with the count 2-0 Cannon delivered a bomb to right field to walk it off for SEMO. Along with the home run, Cannon had two hits and one RBI.

The bats were hot out at Capaha Field today with six home runs and 22 hits. Southeast Missouri had 14 of those hits with Ty Stauss leading the way with three hits. Five Redhawks had two hits, those being Brooks Kettering, Michael Mugan, Bryce Cannon, Shea McGahan, and Caleb Corbin. 

The home runs were split with SEMO and EIU both hitting three. Micheal Mugan hit the other two homers for the Redhawks along with three RBIs and two runs scored.

Gavin Johnston recorded the win today. Johnston came to the mound in the 11th and is now 2-0 on the season. Haden Dow started for SEMO, pitching five innings with three strikeouts, four hits, and an ERA of 3.88. Bryce Riggs got credited with the loss (0-4).

The Panthers got on the board first hitting a home run in the first inning. The Redhawks countered and scored two runs in the bottom of the first off of Michael Mugan's first home run of the day.

Nobody would score for the next two innings before SEMO would score another run in the fourth. Caleb Corbin singled to right center with two outs to drive in Ty Stauss. 

The Panthers and the Redhawks would score one apiece in the fifth inning to make the score 5-2. Eastern Illinois would break it open in the sixth inning scoring four, with a home run and two singles. Shea McGahan would single a 1-1 pitch to drive Stauss in.

Both teams wouldn't do too much until the Redhawks needed at least one run in the bottom of the ninth to send it to extras. On a full count Michael Mugan stepped up to the plate and delivered a shot out over the center field fence to tie the game 6-6.

After nothing in the 10th inning and some great defense by the Redhawks in the top of the 11th, Bryce Cannon then won it with his homer.

Looking Ahead
The Redhawks will be back in action on the road at Murray State this coming Tuesday with first pitch scheduled for 5 p.m., CT.
