UT MARTIN BASEBALL CLOSES OUT 2022 SEASON IN SUNDAY FINALE AT SOUTHEAST MISSOURI
5/15/2022 5:17:00 PM | Baseball
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – The University of Tennessee at Martin baseball team's 45-game journey in the 2022 spring season has concluded on the road in Ohio Valley Conference territory, taking on the Southeast Missouri Redhawks in a Game 3 grudge match after taking the series opener two nights ago. On a Sunday afternoon where inclement weather prematurely halted the contest in the final frame, the Skyhawks came up on the losing end of a 15-2 decision in the last league weekend for the navy and orange.
Scoring a pair thanks to a two-run jack in the top of the 5th by catcher Cameron Brady – the second home run of the semester from the sophomore after sending one past the wall at Alabama just over two months back – UTM finished out the '22 closer with three extra-base swings against SEMO, which included one double each from Casey Harford and Will Smith.
Going yard three times (one for each day) in the season's final stretch from the Show-Me State, the Skyhawks produced 10 doubles over the past 72 hours to give them 79 for the year along with 39 homers. After first baseman Ethan Whitley landed eight RBI in the first two bouts of the series on Friday and Saturday, Brady pushed his season-total to 13 runs batted in by bringing himself and third baseman Nate Self around the bases at the halfway point of the contest.
In the final at-bat of the year for the orange and blue, Smith – playing at the centerfield spot - continued two impressive streaks with a lead-off double in the 9th moments before Mother Nature intervened to cancel the rest of the matchup. The preseason All-OVC selection ends his spring by reaching at least one base in 15 consecutive meetings on an eight-game hitting streak.
Junior Matt Dickey took the starting role in Game 3 against Southeast Missouri, seeing relief from J. Henry Hobson, Noah Walters, Blake Davis, and Trey Ricko. Although the Skyhawks adamantly out-hit the Redhawks over the first two outing this weekend, SEMO was able to turn the tide in the finale to move UTM's final record to 11-34.
