MARTIN, Tenn. - The University of Tennessee at Martin fell to the Southeast Missouri Redhawks after giving up 16 runs in the 16-6 defeat.

Both squads battled early as they matched each other in the first inning with one run apiece. After SEMO struck first in the top half, the Skyhawks retaliated with a one-out single from junior Ethan Whitley. Whitley continued his four-game hit streak, during this streak, he is batting .412.

The next few innings proved to be all Redhawks as they scored five runs total in the third and fourth inning. However, the Skyhawks were able to mount a little bit of surge as they scored three to make the SEMO lead 6-3. Senior Sean Dixson singled in a run and two batters later junior Houston Wright singled in two runs. Both players sit at No. 1 and No. 2 for the team lead in RBIs as Dixson has batted in 10 while Wright has batted in 13.

SEMO gained those runs back and ran with the lead as they scored 10 straight runs to make it 16-4. UT Martin amounted a small comeback in the bottom of the ninth as they scored two more runs on a two-run single by Wright. Regardless, the Skyhawks ended up falling to the Redhawks 16-6 in the OVC opener.

The Skyhawks will search for redemption as they continue the series against the Redhawks with Sam Folks on the mound tomorrow afternoon at 3 p.m.

Game Notes- Houston Wright led all batters with two hits and four RBIs. His four RBIs are a career-high for the infielder as his previous best was two on several occasions... Christian Hall continued his streak of success at the plate as this is his second consecutive multi-hit game.
