Great catch to keep it off the fence and get the out instead of just a foul ball.

[WarTiger 3,901]

grounder to McCrackin and she gets it to 1st to end the top 6th.  Auburn still leads 1-0.   

Shea, Jordan and McCrackin due up for Auburn in the 6th.  Let's get a run or two here.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Shea hit by a pitch to lead off the 6th.   Whitney Jordan coming up...  Brittany Maresette in to pinch run for Shea.

I know AU is facing some tough pitching today, but the number of Ks is concerning.

Yeah, I know. Not really a huge thing yet. Just notable. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Gipson draws a walk.  Runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out for Podany.  McCrackin back in to run at 1st.

[jared52 4,354]

A big positive is the discipline to work the count and not swing at bad pitches. The Ks are coming on strikes, they are just missing them. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Podany flies to right.  Maresette tags and moves to 3rd.   2 outs.  Draper due up but will be pinch hit for here with Carmyn Greenwood.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Greenwood grounds it sharply up the middle, cut off behind 2nd and throw to 1st in time.   After 6 complete, Auburn leads 1-0.    3 more outs Tigers

[WarTiger 3,901]

These announcers are awful. 

[GBAU83 212]

AU hanging tough, but again leaving baserunners.  Of course this is not the usual start of the season where you play much lesser team to get through amd into a rhythm. 

[autigeremt 6,600]

Good teams will give us their best shot. We are the targeted now.
