MOREHEAD, Ky. -- The Morehead State baseball team rallied in the late innings for the second straight game, and second-year pitchers Dom Masullo and Cory Conway combined to allow zero hits and zero runs in the final 5.1 innings as the Eagles won the series at Eastern Illinois with a 7-5 triumph Sunday.

Morehead State, which improved to 27-18 and 14-7 in the OVC, trailed 5-2 but tied the game in the sixth and took the lead for good in the eighth.

Meanwhile, Masullo entered in the fourth frame and proceeded to shut down the hosts for the next 2.1 innings while just walking one. Conway, who improved to 6-3 out of the bullpen this year, walked only one as well and slammed the door with three nearly flawless innings. He struck out two of his nine outs.

At the plate, the Eagles took a 2-1 lead on senior DH Tyler Niemann's two-run homer in the second frame. But, EIU moved ahead 5-2 on back-to-back round-trippers by Dougie Parks and Hunter Morris in the fourth.

In the sixth, the Eagles tied it 5-5 as senior third baseman Eli Boggess singled home junior first baseman Trevor Snyder. With one out, junior right-fielder Jake Hammon laced a two-run single that skipped off the second baseman's outstretched glove.

The Eagles grabbed the final lead in the eighth when junior catcher Hunter Fain lifted a sac fly to center field. Junior shortstop Reid Leonard tacked on another tally with an RBI single, and then Conway struck out two in the bottom of the ninth.

Leonard extended his reached-base streak to 37 games with a first-inning, first-pitch single. Boggess totaled three hits, while Leonard and Niemann collected two hits.

Morehead State travels to Tennessee on Tuesday for a 6:30 p.m. ET first pitch.
