MARTIN, Tenn.- The University of Tennessee at Martin baseball team fell 18-10 to SIUE in Game 2 of the weekend series at Skyhawk Field.

Every player in the UT Martin (20-33, 11-14 Ohio Valley Conference) batting order reached safely with Brody Capps (four hits, three RBIs, two runs scored), Jalen Fithian (two hits, run scored, double), Arderrius Townsend (two hits, two runs scored, walk, stolen base), Jonah Katsaboulas (two hits, RBI, run scored) and Cameron Greene (two hits, run scored, RBI, double) recording multi-hit games. Blaze Bell (double, walk, RBI, run scored), JT Popick (run scored, walk), Tommy Koch (two RBIs), Jordan Hudson (RBI) and Garner Anderson (run scored, walk) added on to an offense that collected 16 hits.

Zach Wager (5-8) started the day on the mound going four innings with one strikeout. Austin Gast (three innings pitched, two strikeouts), Drake Bayles (one inning pitched) and Shawn Perez (one inning pitched, one strikeout) made relief appearances for the Skyhawks.

SIUE (26-26, 18-8 OVC) jumped out to an early lead through two innings before being shut down in the third by Wager who garnered two pop outs and a flyout. The lefty kept the Cougars off the scoreboard again in the fourth with a lineout, flyout and pop out. With two outs in the home half, Koch drove in Capps to get UT Martin on the board.

The Skyhawks responded to SIUE runs in the top of the fifth with a Capps RBI single and a run scored by Townsend on an error. UT Martin had a four-run seventh on another Capps RBI single, a Bell RBI double, an infield single by Katsaboulas and a sacrifice fly from Koch.

Capps drove in his third run of the game by singling to center field to plate Fithian in the eighth. The Skyhawks scored two runs in the ninth after Hudson singled and Greene scored Katsaboulas on a fielder's choice, but it wouldn't be enough to spark a comeback.

UT Martin returns to Skyhawk Field tomorrow for the final time in the regular season at 1 p.m. Senior Day ceremonies will begin at 12:30 p.m.
