FSU: Tribe erupts to score 6, now 10-1 'Noles

By Michael McGuffee - May 11, 2007

A sea of Garnet and Gold erupted in applause in the seventh inning, followed shortly by the Florida State fight song. Then they did it again, and again. In all they did it five times followed finally by a standing ovation to send the Seminoles out of the inning.

Florida State ripped Clemson relievers in the bottom of the seventh, adding six runs off six hits, including four for extra bases, and an error to give the Tribe a commanding 10-1 lead over the helpless Tigers.

The run started on an error after FSU catcher Buster Posey bunted a weak ball back at pitcher Matt Vaughn who errantly hurled a laser five feet over the first baseman's head. Posey advanced to second, in what began a long inning for the Tigers.

Jason Stidham doubled to right field to score Posey and Ohmed Danesh tripled down the left field line to score two more and spark the onslaught. Mark Gildea doubled to center field to score Danesh and then reached the plate himself on a wild pitch.

Tony Thomas Jr. rubbed it in with another double and crossed the plate one batter later to score the last run of the inning.
