The Southeast Missouri State (SEMO) Redhawks baseball team is set to host the Miami (OH) RedHawks for a four-game series at Capaha Field in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, starting on Friday, February 27th. This marks the first-ever meeting between the two programs, adding extra anticipation for both teams and their fans.
Why it matters
The series will provide an early-season test for the Redhawks, who are looking to build on their 3-6 start to the season against a Miami (OH) squad that currently boasts a 7-1 record. The matchup also represents an opportunity for SEMO to gain valuable experience against a Mid-American Conference (MAC) opponent, as head coach Andy Sawyers has found success against MAC teams in the past.
The details
The four-game set will unfold over the course of four days, beginning with a single game on Friday at 3 p.m. CT, followed by a Saturday doubleheader (12 p.m. & 4 p.m.) and concluding with a Sunday matinee at 1 p.m. CT. Fans can follow the action via live stats and audio broadcasts on SEMO ESPN 93.5 FM or 1220 AM.
- The series begins on Friday, February 27th at 3 p.m. CT.
- A Saturday doubleheader is scheduled for 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. CT.
- The series concludes on Sunday, March 1st at 1 p.m. CT.
The players
Andy Sawyers
The head coach of the SEMO Redhawks, now in his 10th season with a record of 250-228 at the school.
Joe Hall
The Redhawks' designated hitter, who leads the team with a .424 batting average and 14 hits.
Cal Sullivan
The SEMO first baseman, who leads the team with 12 RBIs.
What’s next

The takeaway
This weekend's series between SEMO and Miami (OH) represents an exciting new chapter in college baseball, as the two programs meet for the first time.
