View from the press box at Dudy Noble Field in Starkville, Mississippi.

The third-seeded Louisiana Tech baseball team powered its way to a 9-4 victory over fourth-seeded Southeast Missouri State Saturday afternoon in Starkville, Mississippi.

The Redhawks were eliminated from the NCAA Regional and their season ended with a record of 39-21.

The Bulldogs (41-19) hit three home runs in the game, including a grand slam by Cody Daigle in a sixth-run fourth inning.

Southeast jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first on a three-run home run by Dan Holst, but wouldn't score again until Trevor Ezell drew a bases-loaded walk in the eighth.

Louisiana Tech cut it to 3-1 after one and 3-2 after three innings. Brent Diaz tied it up with a leadoff home run in the sixth and the go-ahead run scored on a bunt single by Bryce Stark before Daigle's homer.

Chandler Hall hit a solo home run in the fifth for the Bulldogs' final run.

Complete coverage of the game will be on semoball.com later tonight.

Beat reporter Erin Unerstall will provide occasional updates from the regional on this blog post and frequent updates on Twitter @semoballErin.

I'm sorry that you had problems following me on Twitter. Not sure what the issue is because my account is not protected. If the link I provided doesn't work try searching for semoballErin and the account should pop up for you to be able to follow. Hope that helps!
I guess someone can't figure out Twitter. Erin has been provided top notch updates and reporting of the SEMO team all year long. I think he deserves props and praise and not "You can do better than this."
