Tallahassee: Here come the Noles

By Michael McGuffee - June 03, 2007

More Stetson fans in attendance today and more bad news for the Hatters in the fifth inning as Florida State is gearing up offensively.

The Seminoles added three more runs on four hits and a wild pitch to make it 5-0, and logged more hits in the inning than they could muster in all of yesterday's loss.

FSU lead-off hitter Tony Thomas Jr. dinged a single through left in the rally to end his regional slump. Thomas was also the speedster on the third when Stetson committed their second wild pitch for a Seminole run on the day.

Hatters' head coach Pete Dunn already pulled starter Jake Hitchcock after 4 and 1/3 innings, 7 hits and 5 runs. Freshman right hander Justin Dechert (6-3) is on in relief with a 4.41 ERA.
