HAMMOND, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University baseball team picked up a run-rule victory over Alcorn State, 11-1, Wednesday in non-conference action at Pat Kenelly Diamond at Alumni Field.
 
Southeastern (25-17) took an early lead, scoring a pair of first-inning runs on one hit.
 
Alex Perry extended the lead over Alcorn (8-33) in the second, launching a solo homer to deep left-center field. The one-out blast was his team-leading 12^th of the season.
 
A pair of doubles, sandwiched around a pair of walks with three wild pitches mixed in, led to three runs in the fourth. Justin Williams drove in the final run of the inning with a double to right-center.
 
SLU batted around in the sixth, scoring five runs. Williams delivered a two-run single down the right-field line. After a couple of Alcorn errors led to two unearned runs, pinch-hitter Gavin Panks rapped a two-out single through the right side to plate the final run.
 
Nick Gisclair (2-1) earned the win with 1.1 scoreless innings in relief. Braves' starting pitcher Garrett Oswald (0-1) suffered the loss, allowing two runs in 0.2 innings of work.
 
Perry (2-for-3) and Williams (2-for-4) produced multiple hits for the Lions.
