Murray State sophomore outfielder Zach Noonan set a school record as he
scored in six runs in Murrray State's 25-2 trouncing of Southeast
Missouri in the first game of an Ohio Valley Conference series Friday
afternoon at Reagan Field.
The 'Breds scored their 25 runs on 26 hits. It is the second most hits for MSU this season after posting a school-record 28 against North Dakota State. The 25 runs are the most since scoring 26 against Morehead State on March 29, 1997.
The 'Breds (19-12, 2-4 OVC) got on the board in the first inning as Noonan drew a leadoff walk and went to second on a wild pitch. Elliot Frey advanced the runner to third with a deep fly to right field before Daniel Hill drove in the runner with a groundout to first.
MSU did some damage with two outs in the second in pushing across four more runs. With one out, Jonathan Craycraft singled to right field and scored on Matt Phillip's double into the gap in right center. With two outs, Kyle Tiernan walked ahead of Noonan's two-run double to left center. Elliot Frey drove in Noonan with a single into the hole at second that skipped off the second baseman's glove into shallow right field.
SEMO (18-12, 8-2 OVC) got on the board in the third as they took advantage of a pair of MSU errors. With one out, Kody Campbell singled through the right side and advanced to third on a failed pickoff attempt. The run scored when Nick Harris' fly ball was misplayed by the 'Breds infield. MSU minimized the damage as Daniel Miller threw out Harris on an attempted steal and Frey made a diving catch in left field.
The 'Breds got the run back in the fourth as Noonan reached on a fielder's choice before scoring on Frey's RBI double to left center.
MSU broke the game wide open in the fifth as they took advantage of two Redhawk errors to score eight runs. Bryan Propst started the inning with a double into the corner in right field. Jonathan Craycraft followed with a walk before Daniel Miller's bunt was thrown down the left-field line, allowing two runs to score. Phillips followed with a bunt base hit to the pitcher, allowing Miller to score as the throw sailed over the head of the first baseman. Tiernan would then find chalk on a bloop down the left-field line ahead of Noonan's two-run double to left center.
Frey kept the rally alive with a base hit before Jason Laws plated two runs with his first career triple to straight-away center field. Propst's second at-bat of the inning resulted in a sacrifice fly to left center.
The Redhawks pushed across their second unearned run of the game in the seventh as Kenton Parmley doubled to right center with one out before scoring on a fielding error with two outs.
MSU got the run right back as Noonan walked ahead of Frey's single to right feld. A wild pitch moved bother runners into scoring position before Laws drove in a run with a groundout to short.
The 'Breds batted around for the second time in the game as sent 12 hitters to the plate in scoring nine runs in the eighth inning. Miller started the onlsot with a single and Phillips followed with a walk. Tiernan drove in two runs with a double inside the bag at first. Frey plated a run with sincle to center before Laws, Propst and Jonathan Craycraft each plated runs.
