MOREHEAD, Ky. -- After a loss in game one of Sunday's doubleheader, the Morehead State baseball team won a shootout over SIUE 16-15 in seven innings in the series finale to salvage the series. With the win, the Eagles stayed in the top four in the OVC, and moved to 23-26 overall and 11-10 OVC.

In the bottom of the seventh, Colton Becker led off with a single and advanced to third on a pair of wild pitches. Isaias Guzman and Brody Shoupe both reached on walks to load the bases with no outs, and Ryley Preece took one for the team, getting hit by a pitch to win the game. 

A three-run home run put SIUE on top early, but the Eagles quickly responded with a six run home first. Jackson Feltner launched a two-run homer (his third homer in as many games) to cut the lead to one, before RBI groundouts from Nick Gooden and Chase Vinson gave the Eagles the lead. Isaias Guzman knocked in another with a double, and another run crossed on an error, making the score 6-3. 

Alex Jacobs (who extended his on-base streak to 47 games) homered for the fourth time this season, a two-run bomb that gave MSU an 8-3 advantage. SIUE pushed two across in the third, but John Bakke stopped the scoring there. 

A five run fourth inning gave the Eagles a 13-5 lead, as Jackson Feltner (3-3, HR, 4 RBI) knocked home two with a single, and Roman Kuntz sent three more home with a towering home run. Kuntz homered three times in the doubleheader overall, and hit over .400 at Allen Field this season. 

Isaias Guzman homered later on in the fifth to give the Eagles a 15-6 lead. Eight of the nine Eagles in the batting order had a hit, with five multi-hit performances. SIUE scored nine runs in the sixth and seventh innings to tie the game at 15 a side.

The Eagles next action comes Tuesday at Marshall, with a three-game series to end the regular season at Austin Peay to follow.
