Southeast Missouri (4-8) pounded out 14 hits, including three home runs to win the series against Milwaukee (6-4) Sunday afternoon by a final score of 13-7.
The Redhawks got strong pitching out of their bullpen in Sunday afternoon's contest as Ethan Osborne, Hunter Ralls, and Logan Katen combined for just one unearned run over 26 Milwaukee batters.
Katen, who registered his first save of the season in Saturday's second game, pitched 2.2 innings allowing just one hit over nine batters.
Lincoln Andrews got things going for the Redhawks after a 1-2-3-inning in the top of inning one by Redhawks LHP Haden Down with a two-run home run into the right field party deck for the game's first runs.
Andrews finished the contest with two hits, three RBI, and his third home run of the season.
Milwaukee would respond in the second inning, however, with three runs of their own beginning with catcher Jack Thelen's RBI single to left field.
Tommy Benson drove in the Panthers' second run of the inning, and a sacrifice fly by center fielder Ty Olejnik put Milwaukee in front after one and a half innings.
SEMO would come right back an inning later and put up a four spot in the third inning as Lincoln Andrews drove in his third RBI of the contest with a double down the right field line that would score Gunnar Doyle to give tie the game at three.
Getting the start at third base today, Chance Resetich drove in the next run with his RBI single to left field to plate Andrews.
Josh Cameron came into score via a wild pitch from Milwaukee starting pitcher Eliot Turnquist and Brett Graber delivered a two-out RBI double, plating Resetich to give the Redhawks a 6-3 advantage.
Milwaukee would scratch three runs across in the fourth inning, but another Redhawks four-spot in the bottom of the fifth inning, two runs in the seventh, and the final run of the game in eighth proved too much as SEMO held on for the 13-7 victory.
Catcher Ty Stauss was 3-for-5 in today's contest including a two-run home run to right field in the fifth. Stauss finished with two RBI and one run scored in Sunday's finale.
Five Redhawks recorded multiple hits in Sunday's series-clinching victory headlined by Josh Cameron, Lincoln Andrews, Carlos Aranda, Brett Graber, and Stauss.
Designated Hitter Carlos Aranda hit his second home run of the season in the eighth inning with a towering shot to left field that nearly clipped the left field foul-pole to give the Redhawks their 13th and final run of Sunday's game.
Ethan Osborne (1-1) registered the win on Sunday. Dylan Szajkovics (0-1) was handed his first loss of the season for the Panthers.
SEMO baseball will be back in action on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 7-8, in Cape Girardeau, Mo. to take on the Indiana State Sycamores. First pitch in both contests is scheduled for 3 p.m., CT. at Capaha Field.
