eventful first at bat for sage here's a bun attemp coming off the mound pointner looks to first he has to wait for Gooden to get there and he does for the out 3-2 that hits Brooks catering directly on the forearm and the bases are loaded yeah that doesn't feel too good 2 two lifted to left charging in German makes a sliding catch and it pops out of his Mt he fires to third that's the short stop Becker covering the bag and he's shaking up one run is in for Simo the Red Hawks retake the lead three to2 a lot going on on this play it was a really good effort out there by Hayden Robbins or rather I'm sorry German out there and left and he just is unable to make the catch hopefully Colton Becker's all right he's going to get looked at here but a collision over there at third one two base hits a right field more runs in what is in the here's the throw by Robbins it is not in time two run scored off the bat of the DH Ty stal 5-2 lead for Southeast Missouri pretty pitch there to freeze Josh

retired one two three for the first time today to this point popped up about hereit to Guzman it's a long run for him close to the Dugout does he make the catch he does it's the catcher grey BOS but he collided with Guzman I don't think Guzman saw grey Bosch at all here oh oh man it it was the foot and it looked like the fa or he got hit in the face as well oh Ian Riley gets nailed by a pitch from Blackhawk Community College in Illinois drives it over the head of Nick good in in the shallow right center field touching second headache for third and getting there safely Ian Riley going from first to third on the single by recettage good base running by Riley it looked like he paused for a moment wasn't sure if he was going to head for third well first he has to wait to see if Good's going to catch it he checks the outfielders and then he turns on the Jets seeing where they are and able to beat the [Music] throw drops a bun in front of Home Plate and the catcher grey BOS drops it in a run is in for Southeast Missouri the great thing about a squeeze play as it puts lifts it right center field Robbins and priest almost get together priest makes the catch for the out had a career high seven game hitting Dr in late March so we going to miss a strike out for rodus Roman C this is a fair ball to Long throw by redage and he skips it in for the out it does seem like everybody has gotten more comfortable with the artificial surface all the way around in this ballpark as the week is going on as grey BOS has a base hit I mean even that hit right there Amman wanted it we'll see how he bounces back a in a Miss got the start to kick off the tournament here's a ground ball up the middle Palmer flips it to Second and time for the final out as we advance to the bottom of the fourth hits it in the air left field here is Davis German brings it in for the out had 16 home runs and 50 RBI last season he jumps on the first pitch and will ground out to Nick Gooden all game couple of strikeouts no walks and he Strikes Out Cola a fasts for the Eagles drives it well hit to center field Ian Riley backs up and he makes the catch shy of the wall one of the hardest hit balls of the week for Riley priest unfortunately for him it just hit it over 100 miles hour Colton Becker Skies it on the infield who's going to bring it in who wants it it's the first baseman Bryce Canon it was enough it was mostly over the middle but a little bit inside and he strikes him out 32 counts Sam hayon de but first he would like to take care of business tonight against Simo but Bryce Canon he's got other ideas at to lead off walk to begin the fifth outside Ball Four rodus with backto back walks to begin the fifth it's in around first base that's upstairs snap though to Second it is not in time but boy it was close Bryce Canon just gets back safely yeah good idea oh that hits the batter reset it just the second time that he's been hit kind of in a similar situation too he tried to drop a sacrifice went back in the second and he was hit by a pitch same acri just the third time he's been at the plate when the bases are loaded he's one for two flips in in the a right will it be
