JACK STALLINGS FIELD

JACK STALLINGS FIELD

Jack Stallings, the winningest coach in Georgia Southern baseball history, not only had his jersey retired, but in February 2005 was also honored by having the playing field at J.I. Clements Stadium named after him. His #1 is just the second jersey ever retired in the Eagles’ baseball program. In 24 years in charge of the Eagles he posted a 858-581-5 record and trip to the 1990 College World Series. Stallings won 1,257 games in 39 seasons as a head coach.

Mason Clements Wall of Fame Former Georgia Southern standout Mason Clements donated the plaque that graces the entrance of the stadium named after his brother, J.I. Clements. Pictured are the late Mason Clements (second left) with family members following the dedication in February 2005.


J.I. CLEMENTS STADIUM

In addition to J.I. CLEMENTS STADIUM, Georgia Southern enjoys superb associated facilities. The WIGGINS BUILDING is located adjacent to J.I. Clements Stadium and houses coaching offices along with locker rooms for Georgia Southern. Tucked alongside the third-base line is a series of batting cages, called FT. KNOCKS, which help the Eagles hone their hitting skills.

The Champions Room is located on the main concourse of J.I. Clements Stadium. The room is home to historical memorabilia and can host business meetings or meals with recruits.


J.I. CLEMENTS STADIUM

The VIP Suite, located on the pressbox level of J.I. Clements Stadium, gives the feel of a luxury box at any Major League Baseball Stadium. The suite offers not only seating in the climate-controlled indoors but 27 stadium chairback seats outside.

LITTLE EAGLES CAMP

The Georgia Southern Baseball team hosts an annual Little Eagles Baseball Camp and Meet the Baseball Eagles Day in February at J.I Clements Stadium prior to the start of the season. All camp participants receive instruction from Baseball coaches and players as they go through hitting, throwing, fielding, and base running drills. Following the Little Eagles Baseball Camp, participants and fans receive the annual baseball schedule poster and will have the opportunity to have their posters signed by the players and the coaching staff. A intra-squad scrimmage usually concludes the day and gives fans, parents and kids the opportunity to watch the team for the first time that season.


HEAD COACH

RODNEY

HENNON Rodney Hennon enters his 13th season as Head Coach of the Georgia Southern Baseball Program. Under Hennon’s guidance, the Eagles have won at least 30 games every year and have done so for 12-straight seasons. Hennon joins legendary coach Jack Stallings as the only coaches in Georgia Southern history to record more than 10 straight 30-win seasons. He also ranks 41st among active NCAA Division I head coaches with a 62.2 winning percentage. Since taking over the storied program before the 2000 season, Hennon has accumulated a 440-283 record, including an impressive 222-126 record in Southern Conference play. Hennon surpassed legendary coach J.I. Clements for second place on the all-time wins list during the 2008 season. He picked up his 321st Georgia Southern win in a 17-13 victory over The Citadel on May 2nd. In his 14 seasons as a head coach at Georgia Southern and Western Carolina Hennon has amassed a 521-321-1 overall record and a 260-142 record in the SoCon. Hennon earned his 500th career victory in a 7-1 win over the College of Charleston on March 27, 2011 in Charleston, S.C. and was honored by the College Baseball Foundation National All-Star Coach of the Week for reaching the milestone. Under his guidance Georgia Southern has won two Southern Conference Tournament Titles in the last three years. The Eagles added their latest piece of trophy hardware in 2011. Chris Beck threw a complete game shutout in a 1-0 win over Samford. GSU also grabbed the Southern Conference Tournament Title in 2009 with a 7-3 win over Elon. Kyle Blackburn hit a towering three-run homer to break open a scoreless ballgame in the sixth inning and picked up Tournament MVP Honors in that contest.

HEAD COACH

During his tenure, Hennon has guided the Eagles to at least a fourth-place finish in the Southern Conference regular season 11 times, including six runner-up or championship finishes. The Eagles advanced to the NCAA Regionals three consecutive years from 2000-2003, won the Southern Conference Tournament title four times and been runner-up twice during his tenure. While the Eagles have continued their winning tradition on the field, Hennon also puts an emphasis on success in the classroom. Academics have always been a high priority for Hennon, a twotime GTE Academic All-America selection during his playing days at Western Carolina. In 2008, David Richardson (2nd Team), Chris Shehan (3rd Team) and Brian Pierce (3rd Team) all earned CoSIDA Academic All-District accolades. During the 2005-06 academic year, the baseball team posted the highest GPA of any men’s team, snapping a seven-year run by the tennis squad. Following the fall 2007 semester, 14 players recorded a 3.50 GPA (the most representatives of any Georgia Southern sports program) and five scored a perfect 4.0 GPA. Hennon has produced talent on the field at GSU as well, coaching three All-America performers. In 2011 Victor Roache was selected to five All-America teams after hitting a NCAA best 30 home runs and setting single-season records in the process. Chris Shehan in 2009 earned various First Team All-America accolades (American Baseball Coaches Association, National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, PING!Baseball), while Ty Wright made an immediate impact that season, also earning national accolades.

Matt Murray, Andy Moye and Shawn Payne added their names to a list of 24 Eagles who have been drafted during Coach Hennon’s tenure at Georgia Southern. In 2008 Georgia Southern put up staggering offensive numbers, not only program record-setting numbers but also statistics that ranked among the nation’s best. The Eagles finished the year nationally ranked in various offensive categories: second in batting average (.346); second in scoring (10.3 runs per game); fourth in doubles (2.66 p/g); second in home runs (114); second in slugging percentage (.584); 13th in walks (302); 15th in stolen bases (108); 10th in sacrifice flies (37); and 36th in hit by pitches (80). The offensive juggernauts set GS records with: 114 home runs (3rd in SoCon season ‘Top 10’), six grand slams (1st SoCon), 595 runs scored (2nd SoCon), 543 RBI (2nd SoCon), 1,269 total bases (2nd SoCon) and 751 hits (5th SoCon). The 154 doubles were second most (5th SoCon), and the .346 team batting average was the highest total in the modern era (tied 5th SoCon). Georgia Southern’s .584 slugging percentage was the second-highest average in the SoCon record books, and the 37 sacrifice flies tied for second-most.

The Eagles ended the 2007 campaign ranked in two season ‘Top 10’ categories (including the second-highest doubles total) while just missing out in five other statistical categories. Senior pitcher A.J. Battisto was drafted in the 30th round by the Florida Marlins. During the 2005 campaign the Eagles put together one of the most dominating offenses in the country, posting a .331 team batting average which led to the 38 wins and a runner-up SoCon finish. Not only did that impressive batting average rank thirdbest in GSU history but the fifth-highest in the nation. Southern also ranked 11th nationally in slugging percentage, 25th in scoring and home runs, 47th in stolen bases and 22nd in doubles per game. For the first time in program history, two players hit .400 in the same season. Greg Dowling (.400) and James Payne (.407) both earned the honor following the 2005 season.

One of the most impressive offensive displays - not only in Georgia Southern history but in the nation - came in mid-March 2008 at home against Columbia. The Eagles slammed a NCAA Division I record 14 home runs during a 26-8 rout of the Lions. In fact 12 different Eagles went deep, including a stretch of three straight pinch-hit home runs in the eighth inning. Two games later against the Lions, Georgia Southern pounded out another 13 extra-base hits in a 22-8 victory. The 2007 season started off in memorable fashion, Georgia Southern’s first-ever trip to Hawai’i. The Eagles opened with a win, kicking off an 8-2 start to the season. That impressive start also included the first home sweep of (11th-ranked) Georgia Tech since 1996. Nearly 4,400 were in attendance for that homeopening series against the Yellow Jackets.

HEAD COACH In 2003, Hennon guided the Eagles to a third SoCon Tournament championship game appearance in four seasons. GSU came within one out of winning a third tournament before falling in extra innings to Western Carolina. The 2002 season marked the third straight NCAA Regionals appearance, doing so by winning two games on the final day of the SoCon Tournament. The year before Georgia Southern won 42 games, 21 of those coming in SoCon play which led to its second straight regular season title. That postseason saw the Eagles defeat No. 9 Georgia in the NCAA Regionals for the school’s first win in the postseason since 1996.

Faced with a continuing set of obstacles and hurdles during his initial spring (2000) in Statesboro, the Dalton native handled each with the resiliency, maturity and composure rarely displayed by the most seasoned of head coaches. When it was all said and done, Hennon had led his spirited and over-achieving 19-man Eagle squad to a 38-23 record, a Southern Conference regular season and tournament championship and the school’s first NCAA Regional appearance in four years. Totals Western Carolina............. 81-38-1........679 The Eagles’ buoyancy was even more forthcoming when it mattered most - late in the season.

His players claimed both the Southern Conference’s Pitcher and Player of the Year award while seven signed professional contracts at the conclusion of the season. In addition, the 1998 WCU squad led the nation in stolen bases with 153, which shattered a 33-year-old school record and a 16-year-old conference mark. He directed a pitching staff which also enjoyed an outstanding season, turning in a 4.01 earned run average to rank 11th nationally, while finishing ninth among all Division I institutions with 499 strikeouts.

The 19-man 2000 squad made an impressive run through the Southern Conference regular season and tournament capturing both titles. The team played in the NCAA Atlanta Regional that season. Hennon led the Eagles to three consecutive trips to an NCAA Regional from 2000-2002.

age (.523), runs (502), hits (684), home runs (82) and runs batted in (445) while finishing second in triples (20) and third in stolen bases (123). Hennon guided one of the league’s youngest pitching staffs to a 5.70 earned run average - rating third among all conference teams. Prior to taking over the WCU head coaching duties, Hennon served as a full-time assistant coach for his alma mater for three seasons and was a two-time All-SoCon second baseman for the Catamounts in the early 1990s. As an assistant coach, Hennon helped lead the Cats to a 42-20 record, a Southern Conference title and NCAA Tournament appearance in 1997 as a member of the late Keith LeClair’s staff. He joined the WCU baseball staff in 1994 as a part-time assistant after earning numerous on-field and classroom honors during his playing career from 1990 to 1993. A Second Team All-SoCon choice in 1992, Hennon batted .367 to lead the SoCon in hits and runs scored, while sparking the Catamounts to the league regular season and tournament championship. Despite his all-tournament performance (eight hits and five RBI), WCU fell one game short of reaching the College World Series after falling to Florida State in NCAA South II Regional Championship. A year later as a senior, Hennon earned First Team All-SoCon honors, again leading the league in hits and runs scored and helping the Catamounts to the NCAA South Regional in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He currently ranks first among WCU season leaders in games started and at-bats, while standing tied for 19th in runs scored (160) and 23rd for hits (208). Hennon earned his bachelor’s degree in Economics from Western Carolina in 1993. In the classroom, he was a two-time GTE-CoSIDA Academic All-America choice as he posted a 3.55 grade point average during his four years of undergraduate work in WCU’s College of Business. Hennon was also named to the Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll in each of his four years while competing as a student-athlete. Hennon is married to the former Kim Estes of Fairburn and they are the parents of three children - Walker, Keeli and Carter.

Prior to the BBCOR era in 2011, none of his teams hit lower thatn .295 in a season going back to his first assistant coaching job at Elon in 1997. Tidick has also had 21 players continue their careers in the professional ranks during his 16 year coaching career.

Since joining the Georgia Southern staff in August of 1999 Tidick has coached 17 Eagles who have been taken in the draft. He has had a player selected in nine of his 12 seasons as hitting coach at GSU. After returning for his senior year, Tidick helped Shawn Payne improve from a 44th round selection in 2010 to a 35th round pick in 2011. In 2009 he had two players selected in Griffin Benedict and Ty Wright. Benedict was a 16th round selection of the Sand Diego Padres and reached AAA in his first season. Wright was also selected by the Padres in the 25th round.

Last Season Tidick helped mold Victor Roache from a .252 batting average with eight home his freshman season in 2010 into the NCAA’s home run leader with 30 bombs in 2011. Roache garned five All-America honors after setting new Southern Conference and school records in home runs. In just his sophomore season in the program, Roache hit .326 with 30 home runs and 84 RBIs to go along with a .778 slugging percentage. Two more players were drafted in 2008. Jeremy Beckham was a 17th round draft pick by Tampa Bay and Shehan in the 30th round by Atlanta. Shehan was the Southern Conference Player of the Year that season and is one of four Players of the Year Tidick has worked with during his career. Shehan was one of 16 semifinalists for the prestigious Dick Howser Award and one of the final 50 for the Brooks Wallace Award and Golden Spikes Award, given to the National Player of the Year. Shehan was the only representative from the Southern Conference on either list, and would also be named SoCon ‘Player of the Year’ by the Sports Media Association. Shehan capped his impressive junior year by earning various First Team All-America accolades. Tidick also coached Martin Barrow and Chris Moore to Player of the Year Awards at Western Carolina and helped Matt Easterday to the same award in 2000 in his first season as a coach with the Eagles. Moore was an 11th round selection of the Colorado Rockies in 1999, while Easterday was a 21st round pick of the Florida Marlins. Other draft notables from Tidick’s coaching career at Western Carolina include Eric Johnson who was a third round pick by the Cleveland Indians and Charles Thomas who played two seasons in the Major Leagues. Thomas hit .288 in 83 games with the Atlanta Braves in his debut season in 2004. In 2008 the Eagles put up staggering offensive numbers, not only program record-setting numbers but also statistics that ranked among the nation’s best. The Eagles finished nationally ranked in various offensive categories: second in batting average (.346); second in scoring (10.3 runs per game); fourth in doubles (2.66 p/g); second in HR (114); second in slugging pct. (.584); 13th in walks (302); and 15th in stolen bases (108). One of the most impressive offensive displays - not only in Georgia Southern history but in the nation - came in mid-March 2008 at home against Columbia. The Eagles slammed a NCAA Division I record 14 home runs during a 26-8 rout of the Lions. When it was all said and done, five hitters earned All-Southern Conference honors that season. Chris Shehan and Ty Wright would also receive All-Atlantic Region and All-America accolades as well. Working with an offensive line-up that had at times six freshmen starting, the 2006 squad hit .304 overall.

ern history. Prior to 2005, nine Eagles batted .400 for the season and never during the same year. That changed when James Payne (.407) and Greg Dowling (.400) accomplished the feat. Jason Hurst put together the second and third longest hitting streak in GS history, 25 consecutive from his junior year into senior season, then 24 later in his final year. Not only did Tidick’s players have impressive batting averages, they rarely strike out. Dowling (20th), Brent Stephens (29th) and Payne (100th) ranked among the 2005 national leaders in toughest to strikeout. The Eagles also ranked 11th nationally in slugging percentage, 22nd in doubles, 25th in scoring and 47th in stolen bases. The 139 doubles and 1,077 total bases both ranked at the time as the second-most in the GSU record book. The 2002 Eagle team was similarly impressive. Georgia Southern completed the campaign ranked in the ‘Top 30’ in the nation in hitting at .321, a mark that at the time ranked third on the Eagles’ season record list. The Eagles were also ranked sixth nationally in stolen bases with 151, breaking a Georgia Southern record that had stood for 27 years. The 2001 squad ranked third in history in at-bats, runs scored, and RBI while also ranking among the top five in hits (fourth), doubles (fourth) and total bases (fifth). On top of that the Eagles finished just 14 stolen bases shy of breaking the school mark.

Tidick joined GS during the summer shortly after coach Rodney Hennon’s arrival in 1999 after spending the two previous seasons at Western working on Hennon’s coaching staff. Inheriting just four regulars off Georgia Southern’s offensive lineup from the 1999 season, Tidick began to meticulously work on fostering a new aggressive approach which helped translate into a Southern Conference championship in 2000. The statistical results were equally impressive. The Eagles turned in a batting average over .300 for only the third time in the previous 10 years, hit 60 or more home runs for only the third time in nine years and endured the fewest strikeouts in seven seasons. “Mike is certainly a quality coach and a quality person,” said Hennon. “He’s a big asset to our program, coordinating our recruiting efforts. In addition, he is responsible for our outfield play and hitting, an area where he has a proven track record. We have a good feel and know what to expect out of each other.” In 1998, he helped guide the Catamounts to a 45-15 overall record which equaled the school standard, and a 20-6 SoCon mark. Western Carolina followed up the 1998 season with a 36-23-1 mark, boasting to have the SoCon’s top offensive squad with league bests in average (.328), onbase percentage (.523), runs (502), hits (684), home runs (82), and runs batted in (445). Prior to his move to Cullowhee, Tidick spent the 1997 season as an assistant coach at Elon after serving in a similar capacity at Coastal Carolina in 1996. Tidick first arrived at Western Carolina in 1989 after an illustrious career at Union-Endicott (N.Y.) High School. After sitting out all of WCU’s 1990 campaign following surgery, he turned in the first of four consecutive .300-plus hitting seasons when he batted .302 his rookie season. As the Catamounts’ everyday centerfielder in 1992, he was named Second Team All-Southern Conference hitting .328 and stealing 21 bases while helping WCU advance all the way to the NCAA South II Regional title game.

(From L-R) Mike, Ty, Lorin and Lori Tidick.

He led Western back to a NCAA Regional (South I) as a junior, earning SoCon All-Tournament Team honors in 1993 after his average jumped to .352 with 19 doubles and 13 home runs. Tidick topped off an outstanding collegiate career in ‘94 as he was named SoCon ‘Player of the Year’ by batting .376 with 15 home runs, 17 doubles, 58 RBI and 20 stolen bases. In addition, he played errorless defense as the Catamounts received an at-large bid to the NCAA East Regional. Upon leaving Western Carolina, he ranked fourth in hits (270), seventh in RBI (158), third in doubles (54) and second in stolen bases on Western Carolina’s all-time career list. Among the Southern Conference leaders, Tidick stands 18th all-time in hits. After graduating from WCU in 1994 with a degree in Secondary Education, Tidick signed a professional contract with the Chicago White Sox and subsequently played in the Gulf Coast League (Sarasota, Fla.) and South Atlantic League (Hickory, N.C.) in 1994 and 1995, respectively. Tidick is married to the former Lori Bingham of Cherryville, N.C. They are the parents of a son Ty and daughter Lorin Elizabeth.

GEORGIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY This is Georgia Southern

Both Forbes and U.S. News and World Report consistently include Georgia Southern in their annual reports on America’s best colleges. The University’s Graduate School was selected in its category by U.S. News and World Report.

Ranked the fourth-most popular university in the country by U.S. News and World Report, Georgia Southern joined Harvard, Stanford and others in the rankings that featured the top 20 most popular universities based on yield, calculating the number of students who apply and then decide to enroll.

Georgia Southern University has been approved to offer three new engineering degrees this fall, making it one of the only institutions in the state to offer Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.

Georgia Southern was presented with the University System of Georgia’s Regents Facilities Award for Excellence, recognizing the campus’ longterm commitment to campus design and master planning. The Princeton Review and the U.S. Green Building Council both named Georgia Southern University one of the nation’s top eco-friendly campuses.

The Princeton Review cited the College of Business Administration as one of the “Best 300 Business Schools” in the nation for the fifth straight year. The publication also recognized the MBA program as one of the best in the country.

Chick-fil-A CEO and Georgia Southern alum Dan Cathy delivered the Commencement address to more than 2,200 graduating seniors and an over-capacity crowd at Paulson Stadium this past spring. Cathy inspired the Class of 2011 to be a proponent of change and encouraged the graduates to continue to be students throughout their life.

As the largest and most comprehensive research institution in southeast Georgia, Georgia Southern University continues to set the bar for academic excellence. During the past decade, Georgia Southern has shown growth in size and scope that has led to recognition by U.S. News and World Report as one of the top five most popular universities in the nation. Georgia Southern continues to be one of the top choices in the state for new freshmen and HOPE scholars, with a record enrollment of approximately 20,000 students, celebrating a diverse population from all 50 U.S. states and nearly 100 nations from around the world. The University offers 115 degree programs at the baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral levels through eight colleges, as well as a variety of online classes in business, education, liberal arts, science, technology and healthcare, including an array of advanced degree programs. Without a doubt, Georgia Southern boasts one of the most picturesque and iconic college campuses in the country. Among the magnolias and classic Southern red brick buildings, you will find relaxing parks, lakes and the Pedestrium, a walkway that stretches through the heart of the nearly 700-acre campus. During the past decade, almost $300 million in construction and renovation projects have been completed, including stateof-the-art classroom and recreation facilities and a number of modern apartment-style residence halls like the upscale housing at Centennial Place, which includes Cold Stone Creamery, Einstein Bros. Bagel restaurant and more. The University recently celebrated the groundbreaking of a new $37 million Biological Sciences Building that will open in Spring 2013. As a Carnegie Doctoral-Research University, Georgia Southern’s hallmarks focus on teaching, an increasing emphasis on research and a student-centered approach that give the University the feel of a much smaller private college. Students are at the center of everything Georgia Southern does, and the University has created an environment where students can thrive, learn, and prepare for their future. From the moment students step on campus, they are immediately challenged by the academic curriculum, while also having the opportunity to take part in an incredible amount of activities that rival larger universities. The University Honors Program attracts high-achieving students and the Office of Student Leadership and Civic Engagement encourages students to make leadership a part of their college resumes. Students are engaged in community volunteerism, campus theatre productions, academic organizations and recreational athletics, just to name a few of the opportunities offered in this well-rounded collegiate atmosphere. The University has received recent national recognition from Forbes Magazine and The Princeton Review, setting Georgia Southern apart from its peers. Georgia Southern has once again been recognized as one of America’s Best Colleges and one of the “Best 301 Business Schools” in the nation. The University’s business and nursing programs have also been recognized among 2012’s Best Graduate Schools by U.S. News and World Report. Additionally, Georgia Southern has been recognized as one of Forbes’ top universities in the nation for minority science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

IRON WORKS Away from the playing fields, the cameras and the game day excitement is Iron Works, the heart of GSU’s strength and conditioning for all 15 intercollegiate teams. Here, athletes enhance their physical capabilities through the training leadership of certified coaches, and the end results are usually displayed in the win column. A renovation to Iron Works included the addition of offices and a new entrance and interior. Nearly $50,000 worth of new weight equipment including multi-squat racks, two Olympic platforms complete with bumpers plates and bars, free weights, hammer machines and body weight scale were added. Georgia Southern Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Tom Melton, who has the dual title of assistant athletics director/athletic performance, provides a direct strength training leadership role to the Eagle football program while coordinating and supervising off-season and in-season applications for the other 14 GSU teams. Thanks to donations received from former Georgia Southern football athletes, Iron Works is also home to two Vertimax Jump Trainers.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS S AM B AKER James Madison ’74

Building a strong future for the Georgia Southern sports programs in his 16 years as Director of Athletics, Sam Baker has positioned the Eagles for success with new or renovated facilities, a foundation of financial stability and decisions to ensure the best for the student-athlete. An integral component of this ideology is the commitment to “Rings and Diplomas,” as the Athletics Department provides the opportunity for every Georgia Southern student-athlete to win a championship ring and earn a diploma. The emphasis on the “student” in student-athlete is one trademark of the Georgia Southern athletics program as Baker promotes the initiative and continued support for excellence in the classroom. This past academic year, the cumulative grade point average of all 15 sports reached its highest-ever mark with the Football Eagles earning their best-ever marks for both the entire year and single semester. All programs also had members of their teams on the Dean’s List and Southern Conference Honor Roll with 85 placements on the University’s President’s List (4.0 GPA). Numerous student-athletes have earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors with six named to the prestigious Academic All-America list. The most recent honoree was Eagle softball player Nina Iduate, who was voted to the national first team in June 2010. Continuing to add to the lengthy list of accomplishments for the program, three Southern Conference championships were added last year as titles in volleyball, golf and baseball upped Georgia Southern’s total to 30. Those championships, plus a NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoff semifinal appearance, gave the Eagles 27 appearances in postseason play. The most acclaimed is the Eagle Football program, accounting for seven SoCon titles, nine NCAA playoff appearances (Division I FCS) and back-to-back NCAA FCS titles in 1999 and 2000, two of the nation’s-best six FCS national championships, during the Baker tenure.

David Richardson (Left) and Ty Wright (Above) made history in 2008, both hitting for the cycle in four consecutive innings. During game one of the College of Charleston series (March 28th) Richardson hit a single in the 4th, homered in the 5th, doubled in the 6th and tripled in the 7th inning. In the Wofford finale (April 27th) Wright led off the game with a single. He hit a 2-run homer in the 2nd, RBI triple in the 3rd and capped it with a 2-run double in the 4th. It is believed to be the only time in NCAA Division I history that two players from the same team hit for the cycle in consecutive innings.

Top-seeded Stanford survived an upset bid, defeating the Eagles. Rob Fitzpatrick’s sixth-inning blast, which a television replay showed cleared the left centerfield fence, was ruled a double instead of a 2-run homer. The Eagles took a 4-3 lead in the top of the 10th on a Cardinal throwing error. However, an Eagle error on a potential double play ball led to runners at first and second. Stanford scored one run on a sacrifice fly then the game-winner on a RBI single. The teams combined for 10 errors. Mississippi State 15, Georgia Southern 1 The Bulldogs plated 11 runs in the first inning, then cruised to a win that eliminated the Eagles. MSU scored those runs off nine hits and three Eagle errors. MSU sent 17 batters to the plate and broke College World Series record for most runs scored in the first inning and tied a CWS mark for most runs in an inning.
