I don't know why Draper wasn't leading off to start the season, but she has been remarkable in that spot since getting it. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Cooper drops one into shallow left field for a single.   Runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs for Carlee Wallace.

Rivera strikes out swinging. 2 outs.  Kendall Veach up.

[jared52 4,354]

Good pitch. It was right on the edge of being a ball so Rivera had to switch but she wasn't going to reach that one. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Veach lines it to 3rd to end the 1st.   No Score.

[jared52 4,354]

A lot of noise and pressure on the pitcher, but no runs.

solo home run to lead off the 3rd for msu.   1-0

[TigerTennis80 345]

Is anyone starting to be concerned that our freshmen just look overmatched at the plate? Maybe they're just going through a tough spell, but I'm starting to be concerned that it's more than that. Just wondering.

[jared52 4,354]

Big fly by MSU. 1-0 

the MSU coach was a lot animated about that one 

[jared52 4,354]

Is this the first time this year that Carlson has started back-to-back games/days?

[WarTiger 3,901]

couple of base runners after the homerun but a ground ball to Crocker and she tags the runner going by and throws to Veach at 1st for another double play.   Gooing to the bottom 3rd, Auburn trailing 1-0.   Top of the order coming up.  Draper, Cooper and Wallace.  Time to take the lead.

[jared52 4,354]

What a play by Crocker to get the double play. Runner stopped but she was quick on the tag and the throw after. Great play. Hope that gets some life into the team.
