As he dug into the batter's box during the ninth inning, Tanner Hill let his mind wander for a brief second about what might happen.

Who could blame him?

The senior, after all, had every reason to feel like he would come through with another big hit on Thursday night. Hill already had two solo home runs to his name and was bidding for something even bigger as Texas State trailed with the bases loaded and no outs.

"I was confident. I was calm. I felt comfortable in the box," said Hill of his ninth inning at-bat.
