Tallahassee: Another big mistake from Stetson

By Michael McGuffee - June 01, 2007

Mississippi State added another run to make it 6-3 in the seventh, once again thanks to mistakes made by the Hatters. The Bulldogs got consecutive singles with two outs and both runners advanced on a passed ball. Freshman pitcher Justin Dechert then balked to score the runner from third, unearned.

Stetson came to the plate in the bottom of the frame but the first two batters struck out and the third grounded out first for an unproductive inning to say the least.

A scary moment and big gasp from the crowd came as a Mississippi State bat slipped out of Jet Butler's hands and launched into the Stetson dugout. Luckily everyone was able to dodge the hurling stick but some words were exchanged as the bat was returned. Couldn't tell exactly what was said but it involved 'hold onto your bat' at some point I'm sure.
