Tallahassee: Home run happy

By Michael McGuffee - June 01, 2007

A stunned Bethune-Cookman team went three-and-out in the top of the eigth and the Seminoles added another home run to make it 6-2 with only the ninth inning left to play.

Freshman left hander Matt Fairel came on in relief of senior Michael Hyde in the sixth and has pitched 2 and 2/3 of Florida State's last five scoreless innings defensively. He retired seven straight batters in that stretch and helped lay the ground for the Seminole come back.

Third baseman Jason Stidham was responsible for the solo shot in the inning, his fifth home run of the year.
