SCOUTING REPORT
Andy Sawyers is in his 10th season at the helm of Southeast Missouri State's baseball program. He's reached the 250-win mark as the Redhawk's skipper and has helped SEMO win three OVC Tournament titles and a regular season title in 2021. His efforts in 2021 led to him earning OVC Coach of the Year.

The Redhawks went 30-25 overall last season with a 16-11 mark in OVC play. SEMO reached the conference tournament as the fourth seed but fell to Little Rock in the first round.

Entering 2026, SEMO was selected to finish second in the OVC by the conference' coaches. The Redhawks earned three first-place votes. The pitching duo of Jackson Kranawetter and Nathan Mertens headlines SEMO's returning class, as the pair earned All-OVC First Team nods.

Mason Pennington has been the top pitcher for the Redhawks through eight games this season, however. He's worked 9.0 innings in two starts and has picked up a win and nine strikeouts. Kranawetter has been solid as well, making only two appearances so far this season but hasn't allowed any earned runs.

At the plate, Carson Schrack is the most productive returner from last season. This season he is batting .222 in 18 at-bats. Joe Hall has started in all eight games for SEMO so far this season and leads the team with a .414 batting average. Him and Caleb Klein are both already at or above 10 hits for the season so far.

SEMO is 3-5 entering Tuesday's contest, its best win so far was an 11-3 stomping of Saint Louis last Tuesday. In that game, the Redhawks recorded 17 hits, seven of which went for extra bases.
