Despite, it would seem, scoring 13 runs, the Bulldogs also managed to leave 14 runners on base -- such was the traffic on the bases in Game 2.
MSU scored all those runs with the aid of just two extra base hits, both doubles. A four-run third inning gave MSU a decisive lead, and they added another run in the fourth and two more in the fifth. That was prelude to the seventh when the Bulldogs put another five runs on the board, which in essence ended Game 2.
