– March 24, 2011Posted in: ACC, Atlantic Sun, Big West, CAA, CBD Column, CBD Quick Hits, Mountain West, Pac 12, SEC, Southern Conference

The Stetson Hatters picked up a crucial non-conference victory on Wednesday over the Florida State Seminoles in Tallahassee. The offense was led by Ben Carhart who hit a two run homer in the top of the ninth inning to tie the game at four to cause extra innings. Ryan Lashley drove home the eventual winning run in the 11th inning by doubling home Mark Jones. Stetson’s Robbie Powell was excellent in relief pitching the final 3.2 giving up five hits and only one unearned run while striking out five batters.  Read the rest of this entry »
