Softball vs. Longwood - game 3

[WarTiger 3,896]

Auburn going for the sweep today. Auburn comes in to the game today with a 36-4 record on the season. Anna Gibbs getting a start at catcher today and Casey McCrackin is getting her 2nd consecutive start at short stop. Good opportunity for McCrackin. Wondering if Myers thinks he has a better approach at the plate and can maybe hit for a higher average or if this is just to get a freshman some needed experience.
