Chilton homers as Murray State splits twinbill with Southeast Missouri

Murray State split with Southeast Missouri in an Ohio Valley Conference doubleheader Friday afternoon at Reagan Field. The Racers took the opener 9-5 thanks in part to former Christian County catcher Brian Chilton’s first home run of the season, but fell in the nightcap 4-2. Murray State is now 15-17 overall and 9-5 in the OVC. The series concludes with a 2 pm game Saturday afternoon.
