LSU Coach Paul Mainieri got a little hot under the collar at Mississippi State first base coach Nick Mingione for violating one of baseball's "unwritten rules"....

After the game Mainieri said the reason was that Mingione yelled something that distracted second baseman Tyler Hanover when he was making a play during the game and led to a run for Mississippi State.

With Luke Adkins on first in the top of the sixth, Ryan Duffy hit a ball into the right field corner. Mikie Mahtook's throw went to Hanover, who looked at second before trying to throw home. Hanover had a chance to get Adkins at home but the throw was wide and Duffy moved up to third.

"Hanover was going to throw home when all of a sudden he heard a voice yelling '2-2-2-2,'" Mainieri said. "It was their first base coach yelling that. There's no rule against it in the rule book, but there are unwritten rules in the game of baseball. You're not supposed to do things like that. That's a bush league move and I let him know that."
