Baseball at UAT game 1

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Auburn down 2-0 B3. Lipscomb pitched 2 scoreless to start the game and then was pulled to start the third (don't know the reason, but for something that early, I hope its not an injury. Klobosits came in for relief and was ineffective. Pulled after giving up 2 runs with bammers at the corners and 0 outs, threatening to put game 1 out of reach early.

Mitchell comes in and limits the damage. Allows the runner at 3rd to score but at the expense of a DP. 3-0 UAT.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Per AU twitter, no injury issues for Lipscomb. Reason given for change was "fatigue."

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

K ends the third. AU will come up in T4, down 3 and still looking for their first hit of the ballgame.

Actually playing well, UAT's ace is just being an ace so far.

Mitchell really settling down things on the mound for AU. Pitches a scoreless 5th. AU down one to the 6th.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Bama starter at about 80 pitches. Would love to at least exhaust another 20 out of him this inning to see the UAT bullpen the last 3 innings.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Gray with a leadoff walk.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Tigers get nothing. Stretch time. Tigers trail 4-2.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

With Mizzou pulling an upset right now, AU really needs a sweep this weekend to have a legitimate shot at the SEC tourney considering a brutal MSU/Vandy finish. Currently not looking good at the moment. Still 6 outs to go though.
