NEOSHO, Mo. — The Crowder College baseball team gave up 10 runs in the top of the seventh and fell 17-9 to Southeastern Community College of Burlington, Iowa, on Friday at the Neosho Sports Complex.

The Blackhawks (6-2) loaded the bases with no outs in the top of the second and did not squander that opportunity, plating four runs in the process. VJ Schulte scored when Fernando Pichardo was hit by a pitch, Tayvon Holomar scored on an error, Jackson Petsche came home after a walk and Pichardo scored on a fielder’s choice after a Roughrider double play.

Crowder (11-9) made it a 4-2 game when William Beaudoin drove in Lawson Ward and Carlo Almendarez with a single to center field.

Southeastern extended its lead to 6-2 with a pair of runs in the top of the sixth inning. Jake Miller scored on a fielder’s choice and James Nydegger came home on an error.

Brady Nolen pulled Crowder within three runs at 6-3 with a solo homer over the center field fence in the bottom of the sixth.

The Blackhawks 10-run seventh inning started with an Efrain Osorio single that plated Pichardo. Nydegger then drove in Miller and Schulte and made it a 9-3 game with a single to left that brought Osorio across the plate.

The lead swelled to 11-3 off RBI singles from Holomar and Petsche that plated Gavin Awbrey and Schulte, respectively. The lead grew further with a bases-loaded walk that scored Holomar. It got worse for the Roughriders when Petsche, Pichardo and Miller all scored after a fielding error.

Southeastern’s final run of the seventh came on another Crowder error that resulted in Osorio crossing the plate and extending the Blackhawks lead to 16-3.

Crowder got six of those runs back in the bottom of the frame. Maddox Morrison drove in Almendarez with a single to center, Beaudoin scored on a Rylan Michel sacrifice fly, and Camren Stratton made it a 16-7 game with a two-run homer to center that plated Morrison.

The Roughriders final two runs of the inning came via a Nolen double that scored Hudson Hosman and a Ward single to left that brought Nolen home and made it a 16-9 game.

Southeastern tacked on one more run in the top of the ninth when Awbrey scored on a wild pitch as the Blackhawks held on for the 17-9 win.

Nolen finished 3 for 4 with two runs and two RBIs. The Blackhawks amassed 19 hits — three each from Osorio, Awbrey, Schulte and Holomar.

The Roughriders will try to avenge the loss when they play the Blackhawks in a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m. Saturday.
