FORT MYERS, FLA. - Junior Mikael-Ali Mogues (New York, N.Y.) collected a pair of hits, but the Seton Hall baseball team fell to No. 15 Missouri, 7-0, in the 2016 season opener on Friday.

Mogues went 2-for-3 with a double, but was the lone Pirate with multiple hits as Missouri starting pitcher Reggie McClain pitched eight shutout innings to earn the victory.

Seton Hall (0-1) starter Shane McCarthy (Fair Haven, N.J.) also pitched well, giving up just a solo home run to Missouri's Benes through the first four innings.

Turning Point:
With the game locked in a pitchers' duel, Missouri got to McCarthy again in the bottom of the fifth inning. With two outs and a runner on first base, the Pirate right-hander surrendered three straight singles, which plated two runs and extended the Missouri lead to 3-0.

In the seventh inning, Missouri broke the game open with four runs off of reliever Ryan Testani (Shelton, Conn.).

Seton Hall loaded the bases with two outs in the eighth inning, but weren't able to capitalize.

Inside the Numbers:

McCarthy takes the loss giving up three earned runs over 5.1 innings, while striking out four batters and walking only one.

Seton Hall collected four hits, two by Mogues, and one by both Chris Chiaradio (Teaneck, N.J.) and Matt Fortin (Nashua, N.H.).

Junior Anthony Pacillo (Lyndhurst, N.J.) retired the only two batters he faced in relief of McCarthy.

Seton Hall left five men on base, while Missouri left six.

Seton Hall was 0-for-2 with runners in scoring position, while Missouri was 6-for-15.

News & Notes:

Seton Hall falls to 0-2 all-time against Missouri.

Seton Hall falls to 4-9 in season openers with Rob Sheppard as head coach.

Seton Hall entered this weekend receiving votes in Collegiate Baseball's Preseason Top-40 poll. Missouri is ranked No. 34.

Up Next:
Seton Hall will resume its four-game, season-opening series with Missouri in Fort Myers tomorrow with a double-header. The first pitch of game one is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
