Griener is not even close to our best hitter. He's maybe six or seventh best, at best. He's our catcher. He does have power and he was overdue ... but it was a calculated move by your coach against a guy who has been slumping ... let me look. LINK - PDF

He was hitting .293 coming into the series. That's seventh best on the team. Yesterday he was 0-3 with two strikeouts and a groundout and he walked one time. Plus he had a passed ball earlier (or maybe they scored it a wild pitch) tonight that allowed y'all to plate your first run ... so he owed us that dinger. We forgive him for the slump and for the passed ball.

It's like a soccer goalie guessing where the PK is going. Griener guessed slider and it was a little up and he nailed it.

Actually in 2013 Greiner is by far our best hitter in conference play batting over .320 I believe. Woke up this am to watch some highlights this am over at hailstate.com. Pet peeve is the schools who show only their highlights and not actually highlights of the complete game. Replay shows MSU making an out up 3-2 and that's the end of the highlights. An MSU fan that missed the game would have no idea of what happened based on those highlights. Give your fans or opposing fans a complete picture of what happened. Not trying to bash State a lot of teams do this I'm just not sure why.
