Rattlers drop game two of the series against Jackson State

JACKSON, Miss. --The Florida A&M Rattlers got three hits out of sophomore Broedy Poppell in a 5-3 loss to the Jackson State Tigers Saturday.

In addition to his three hits, Poppell had a double, a walk and two RBI to lead the Rattlers. Senior Ty Jackson put together a standout day at the dish as well, going 2-for-3 with two walks.
