St. Charles, Mo. -- The Missouri Southern baseball team rode the bat of Mike Million and the arms of Zach Parish and Joey Reeves to a 5-1 win today over Lindenwood at the Lou Brock Sports Complex. 

With the win, Southern (31-16, 22-9 MIAA) secures at least a top-2 seed in next weekend's MIAA tournament in Pittsburg as the Lions have the tiebreaker over both Central Oklahoma and Emporia State with just two more games to go. 

Million had a three-run home run to break open a one-run game in the ninth inning. Freddie Landers went 2-for-2 with a run and a hit by pitch, while Dexter Swims, Jon Leighton and Troy Gagan had a hit and a run each. Denver Coffee had an RBI. 

Parish started and went six innings, striking out six and allowing just one run . as he moved to 8-1 on the season. Joey Reeves had another stellar outing as he threw three perfect innings, striking out two to pick up his first save of the year. 

Lindenwood (26-22, 17-14 MIAA) got ten strikeouts over five innings from starter Kyle Hentis. 

Landers started the scoring with a run on an errant throw by the catcher in the fourth inning. Coffee drove home Swims with a sacrifice fly in the sixth to put Southern up 2-0 heading to the bottom of the sixth. 

Lindenwood got a run in the sixth to get within a run, before Million's homer in the ninth broke the game open. 

The two teams will be back at it tomorrow afternoon with a 3 pm first-pitch.
