MOREHEAD, Ky. -- Morehead State Baseball's high octane batting order was in full force Sunday afternoon as junior first baseman Trevor Snyder and senior DH Tyler Niemann each had seven RBI as the Eagles pounded out 24 hits and five home runs en route to a 24-12 series-clinching victory over Jacksonville State.

The Eagles (30-19/16-8 OVC) secured the program's fourth consecutive 30-win season, and Niemann, senior second baseman Braxton Morris along with pitcher David Calderon became the winningest four-year player class in program history with their 136th triumph since 2015.

"Those three guys have been fortunate to have been a big part of our success the last four years," said head coach Mike McGuire. "To be so consistent as a program over the last 4-5 years says a lot of about guys like that, guys who set the foundation and everyone in this program right now. It says a lot about what the expectations are now for the program."

Sunday's game featured 41 combined hits and nine homers. Snyder nailed two dingers to bring his season total to 14 and his RBI total to a team-best 55. Niemann also had a career-day, hitting a three-run homer and a two-run triple to go along with an RBI sac fly and ground out. Junior left-fielder Niko Hulsizer blitzed a pitch from JSU starter Colton Pate over the left-field fence in the third inning for his ninth round-tripper. His 41 career long balls moved into a tie for fourth place on MSU's career chart. Junior shortstop Reid Leonard also capped the scoring barrage in the eighth with a solo homer.

Leonard drew three walks as well and tied current assistant coach Kane Sweeney's program reached-base streak record at 41 contests.

All nine in the batting order registered a hit and eight had multi-hit games as Morehead State scored at least 24 runs in a game in a fourth OVC series this year. Senior third baseman Eli Boggess, who ranked second in the nation in 2017 in batting average, went 5-for-6, while Snyder was 4-for-7. Hulsizer and Niemann had a pair of safeties, while Morris, junior center-fielder Connor Pauly, junior catcher Hunter Fain and junior right-fielder Jake Hammon tallied two hits each. Snyder crossed the plate five times and Leonard touched the final dish four times.

"Up and down, every single guy contributed offensively, and we needed it," McGuire added. "We had a bit of trouble getting to the finish line because of how we pitched late, but we just need to keep up swinging the bats well."

Morehead State had a pair of five-run innings (third and seventh) and plated six in the fourth.

Jacksonville State scored 11 of its runs in the final three innings, including five each in the seventh and eighth innings. Center-fielder Cole Frederick cranked solo homers in the seventh, eighth and ninth frames, and second baseman Clayton Daniel had two doubles to set JSU's career two-bagger record.

Senior righty Kyle Cantu (4-0) stayed perfect for his record in 2018 by pitching into the seventh inning. He ultimately allowed six runs but stymied JSU until the seventh. Pate surrendered 10 runs in 3.2 innings to fall to 3-5.

The Eagles will be idle during final exam week this week before returning to OVC action on Friday at Murray State at 7 p.m. ET.
