Box Score

DAYTON, OH- The Wright State baseball team got a home run from Andrew Duncan, but fell to Southeast Missouri State (SEMO) 3-2 in the series final Sunday afternoon.

Wright State (5-12) will be back in action Tuesday afternoon at Kent State. First pitch in Northeast Ohio is currently slated for 3 p.m.

Chet Lax got the start on the mound for the Raiders and delivered another quality start. The left-hander twirled six innings, allowing just one run on three hits while striking out four Redhawks.

SEMO opened the scoring for the third day in a row, bringing in a run in the top of the second. Mikey Rocha served a single out to center that scored Andrew Ramirez from second base.

Duncan got the Raiders on the board in the bottom of the fourth when he launched a solo shot over the wall in left. The homer is Duncan's first of the season and first in a Wright State uniform.

Lax would turn the ball over to Michael Bilo in the seventh. The right-hander pitched two shutout innings, allowing two hits and striking out two Redhawks.

SEMO would regain the lead in the top of the ninth, bringing home two runs on Malachi Paplanus.

Wright State would rally in the bottom of the ninth but would ultimately come up just short. Brett Denby led off the inning with a six-pitch walk and would advance up to second two batters later on a Zac Butler single. Nate Manley would step in and pitch hit in the inning and drive home Denby on an RBI double into the gap in left-center. But the Redhawk closer was able to avoid extra innings, recording the next two outs without any damage.
