CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Southeast Missouri Baseball (28-24, 14-11 OVC) snapped a six-game losing streak with a 19-0 shutout victory over Little Rock (19-30, 8-14 OVC) on Thursday evening at Capaha Field.Â
Â
The Redhawks, who earned their fourth shutout victory of the season, got an unbelievable outing from RHP Nathan Mertens to stifle the Trojans offense. Mertens (7-2) allowed just one hit in 7.0 innings pitched while striking out six en route to his seventh victory of 2025.
Â
Offensively, SEMO used two big innings scoring 15 runs over the second and third inning(s) to power past Little Rock. The Redhawks pounded out 11 hits as a team and drew a season-high 15 walks.Â
Â
DH Gunnar Doyle led the way with a team-high seven RBIs as he finished 3-5 at the plate with his fifth home run of the season, a grand slam in the bottom of the third inning.Â
Â
The Redhawks got on the board with a huge two-out double from Carson Schrack in the bottom of the second inning. Schrack's double sparked a furious two-out rally as all seven runs in the inning scored with two outs.Â
Â
Doyle's first two RBIs came around to score on a two-RBI single to left center field to score Brooks Kettering and Carson Schrack to make it 4-0 SEMO. A bases loaded, three-RBI double by Cole Warehime made it 7-0 Redhawks.Â
Â
A pair of walks began the third inning drawn by Schrack and Kettering before a perfectly executed bunt by Michael Mugan loaded the bases for Doyle. Doyle smacked his grand slam over the left center field wall to make it 11-0 Redhawks with no outs in the third.Â
Â
More two out RBIs came after a walk to Bryce Cannon saw him all the way to third base after a hit-by-pitch to Andrew Ramirez and another walk to catcher Shea McGahan loaded the bases again.
Â
Schrack was hit-by-a-pitch to bring across the 12th run, Brooks Kettering drew a walk for his lone RBI of the game to make it 13-0, and a two-RBI single by Michael Mugan scored runs 14 and 15 as the route was on.Â
Â
Four more SEMO runs came across in the bottom of the eighth inning to make it 19-0 Redhawks to secure the victory.
