Big East: Sawed-Off Metal

By Adam Caparell - May 24, 2007

If it's possible to break your aluminum bat, Rutgers SS Todd Frazier did on a first inning double up the middle that somehow got by Nova CF Joe Cotter. There wasn't the usual ping when Frazier made contact, but rather a dull, wet sock against a wall type sound. Despite Bill Hoffman having a little trouble finding the strike zone so far for Nova, he wasn't hurt by it as the Scarlet Knights left two on and Hoffman got a called strike three to end the bottom of the first.
