USI misses chances, falls in series finale

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Baseball missed chances and lost the series finale to the University of Tennessee at Martin, 5-3, Sunday afternoon at the USI Baseball Field. USI is 16-24 and 6-9 in the OVC, while UTM goes to 15-24, 7-8 OVC.
 
The Screaming Eagles had the early 1-0 lead in the second inning when senior designated hitter Tyler Kapust (Sellersburg, Indiana) singled to right field for the first run of the game. The 1-0 lead lasted until the top of the third when UTM knotted the game up with a home run.
 
UTM took the lead for good with a pair of runs in the fourth and increased the lead to 4-1 with a second home run in the sixth. The Eagles rallied to cut the deficit to 4-3 in the bottom of the seventh after junior catcher Logan Mock (Livermore, California) scored when junior leftfielder Adam Euler (Evansville, Indiana) reached on an error. Euler would score the Eagles' third run of the game on a sacrifice fly by junior second baseman Lane Crowden (Jackson, Missouri).
 
USI would miss an opportunity to take command in the bottom of the eighth when Mock pounded the ball off the plate and to hit into the bad luck 2-3 double play. UTM added an insurance run in the top of the ninth on the third round tripper of the game for a 5-3 lead before USI could not score after a pair of hits in the bottom of the frame.
 
On the mound, junior right-hander Carson Seeman (Auburn, California) started and took the loss. Seeman (2-2) went four innings, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk. He also struck out three.
