EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Southeast Missouri (7-20, 3-5) scored 10 runs in the sixth inning to key a 10-5 game two victory forcing a doubleheader split with Southern Indiana (10-16, 7-2) Sunday. SEMO bounced back from a 2-0 setback in game one to take the nightcap.
 
The win gave Mark Redburn his 300th career victory in 12 seasons as SEMO's head coach.
 
Trailing 4-0 after USI scored its first four tallies in the bottom of the fifth, the Redhawks blew things open with their biggest inning of the season to date.
 
SEMO loaded the bases three times, sent 15 hitters to the plate and took control of the game scoring 10 runs on seven hits and three errors.
 
With one out, Kinley Wilkins got things going with a bunt single, Addy Martinie walked and Gracie Luna singled right after a pitching change to put Redhawks at every base. Sydney Miles singled through the left side and Wilkins scored. 
 
The Redhawks then did some major damage with two outs.
 
Kamden Hutton singled down the right field line scoring both pinch runner Jaylie Walther and Martinie. On the next play, Lesleigh Maynard reached on an error and Miles scored the tying run.
 
Kaylyn Yamnitz, who pinch ran for Maynard, touched home for the go-ahead by way of an infield hit from Madison Winkler. Martinie later drove in a run on a single. An error on the play helped two runs come home as both Aubrie Shore and Winkler scored. A two-RBI infield hit by Miles widened SEMO's lead to 10-4 and the Screaming Eagles never recovered.
 
Elliott Stinson (3-5) was credited with the win in relief since she was the pitcher of record at the time the Redhawks ambushed USI in the sixth. 
 
Stinson pitched two-thirds of an inning in relief of Maddie Carney who worked 6.1 innings with three strikeouts. Carney allowed five runs on five hits and walked three, as well.
 
Offensively, SEMO registered 13 hits, matching a season-high in that category.
 
Shore, Luna, Miles and Hutton all had two hits.
 
In game one, Anna Kemp and Kylie Witthaus combined on a two-hit shutout for USI.
 
Sydney Long knocked in both runs for the Screaming Eagles, hitting a RBI-double in the bottom of the first inning and adding an infield single to score Caroline Stapleton in the fifth.
 
Winkler had a double and Martinie had a single for SEMO's hits in the contest.
 
Kemp (3-6) pitched 5.1 scoreless innings allowing two hits, striking out one and walking three along the way.
 
Witthaus did not give up a hit in 1.2 frames en route to her third save of the season.
 
Willow Van Haren (1-6) went the distance giving up two runs on four hits, striking out four and walking three.
 
SEMO returns to Cape Girardeau to play on its home field for the first time this year when it hosts Tennessee State on Mar. 28-29.
