Tallahassee: Noles tie it up

By Michael McGuffee - June 03, 2007

Florida State got the bats going again in the third and tied up the ballgame. Tony Thomas Jr. punched a double off the center field wall, his 33rd of the season, to start it off.

The speedy Thomas certainly responds well to the crowd, which chanted 'steal Tony, steal' and took third base so fast MSU catcher Edward Easley didn't even bother with the throw.

Shortstop Mark Hallberg took the liberty of hitting Tony home with an RBI single on the next at-bat.

A groundout and another K from Josh Johnson would end the one-run mini rally.
