Southeast Missouri State's four-game winning streak ends vs. Arkansas St.

~ Southeast baseball's four-game run ended with an 8-3 loss at Arkansas State

The Southeast Missouri State baseball team lacked timely hits as it saw a four-game winning streak end Tuesday in Jonesboro, Ark.

The Redhawks left at least one runner in scoring position for seven consecutive innings in an 8-3 loss to the Red Wolves.

Southeast (6-3), coming off a three-game sweep of Indiana Purdue Fort Wayne over the weekend, scored its three runs on 10 hits.

Southeast gave starting pitcher Alex Winkelman a 2-0 lead in the top of the first.

Cole Bieser reached on a single and scored from first on a double by Matt Tellor, who came home on a single to left field by Andy Lennington.

The lead was short lived for the Redhawks. ASU scored a run in the bottom of the second inning on an RBI groundout by Lucas Feddersen.

The Red Wolves took the lead in the third with three runs. The first run of the inning came on a bases loaded walk by Winkelman.

Alex Siddle replaced Winkleman after the walk and got Dustin Jones to ground into a double play that gave ASU a 3-2 lead. ASU added one more run in the frame on an error by second baseman Jason Blum.

ASU added a run in the fifth inning for a 5-2 lead.

Southeast pulled within 5-3 in the seventh when Blum scored from third on a groundout by Derek Gibson.

ASU added to its cushion with three runs in the eighth for an 8-3 lead. All three runs scored before an out was retired. Southeast closer Garret Stockton, who started the inning, yielded a two-run triple to Austin Baker before Stuart Levy greeted Greg Mosel with a single.

Winkelman lasted two-plus innings and took the loss. He allowed four runs -- three earned -- on three hits.

ASU's starting pitcher Adam Grantham, a graduate of Kennett High School, had four strikeouts in three innings, giving up five hits and two earned runs. Tanner Gaines allowed one run over the next 4 1/3 innings for the win. He struck out three and walked one.

Southeast will start a three-game road series with Memphis on Friday.
