Lol!
And we weren't that bad at all by today's "standards" of celebration. Pretty typical game as far as that goes. Dakota celebrated his home run- but the context there is Jackson is his hometown. The baseball games we play in Jackson mean a lot to our players from the Jackson Metro area. Ask Jake Mangum. So the celebration was more about that, a home run that gave us the lead and the fact that it was in a ballpark in Dakota's hometown that he had never homered in that he grew up watching games in than the fact that it was mighty USM. And even then it's not like Dakota went full MacNamee.

I remember us playing USM in Hattiesburg and it was really nasty from their fans especially during Cohen's first couple of years. There were some things that their fans directed at Lane Burroughs that were over the line. And it's a big reason why we haven't played there other than regionals. That and the fact that they price gouge our fans. Not to mention their security trying to arrest Ron Polk for arguing with an umpire.
