Tallahassee: Dogs dodge rally

By Michael McGuffee - June 03, 2007

With two out, the bases loaded and the stadium on its feet, MSU reliever Ricky Bowen got Jack Rye to ground out to the second baseman to prevent a Seminole rally and take the wind out of the sails here at Dick Howser.

Mississippi State still leads 7-4 and are up to bat in the bottom of the seventh.

Bowen K'd the first batter, walked Tony Thomas Jr. and then got one heck of a play from his right fielder, who dived right at the wall to snag a deep foul ball hit on a full count. The freshman then walked catcher Buster Posey on a full count to set up home-run Rye and the fan frenzy.

They should've known it was too good to be true.
