DeLand, Fla. - Stetson continued to roll at the plate, pounding 20 hits in a 14-1 victory over LSU Saturday afternoon at Melching Field.  Shane Jordan knocked out four hits and drove in three runs from the leadoff spot to ignite the Hatters attack. Stetson has won the first two games of the series will have a chance to sweep Sunday afternoon. 

Jordan set the tone in the first inning with a leadoff single.  Casey Frawley then reached on a bunt single and when no one covered third, Jordan took an extra base.  He later scored on a groundout for a 1-0 lead.

Justin Bass led off the next inning with a double.  Kevin Johnson later singled him in and Frawley tripled in two more on the way to a three-hit day. 

Meanwhile, Stetson starter Jake Hitchcock (1-0) was masterful.  In six innings he allowed just one unearned run on three hits, no walks and three strikeouts.  It was his first start of the year and improved his two-year record at Stetson to 7-0.

It was in the fifth that the Hatters firmly took control.  Ten batters came to the plate as Stetson scored five runs to balloon the lead to 9-1.  Adam Tindle drove in two runs with a single.  Jordan and Braedyn Pruitt also delivered RBI singles, while another run scored on a wild pitch. 

Stetson scored in the fourth on another RBI single from Jordan and Brian Pruitt's double in the fifth made it 11-1. The Hatters finished the game's scoring in the sixth on a single from Braedyn Pruitt and RBI ground outs from Jordan and Brian Pruitt.

Eight of the nine hitters in the lineup registered multi-hit games for Stetson.  Jordan's four topped the list, with Frawley and Tindle each adding three hits.  The team's 20-hit attack was the most prolific output since March 18, 2006 against Mercer.  It was LSU's worst non-conference regular-season defeat since 1991 when they fell 15-2 to Southeastern Louisiana. 

In the two-game series with LSU, Stetson has out-scored the Tigers 22-2 and out-hit them 31-7. 

The Hatters improved to 5-1 while LSU dropped to 3-2.  Stetson goes for the sweep Sunday with a 1:00 p.m. first pitch at Melching Field at Conrad Park.
