Baseball vs Ga Southern game 1

[AU64 10,122]

Missed a bit of the game but it's on streaming and AU now up 5-1 is a sloppily played game by GSU....Just finished bottom of the first after about 45 minutes

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

I was ready to go at 6:00 sharp....and then....RAIN DELAY. NOOOOOOO!!!  I was crushed!!!!!  

 

 

 

[AU64 10,122]

DD getting touched up a bit.....3 hits this inning.....that danged curve just has no movement....and GSU is hitting them...

One out and bases loaded and couple guys go to the bullpen...

[auburntiger1987 759]

Davis is really struggling with consistency tonight. 1 out bases loaded. Thrown almost 40 pitches with only 4 outs

[auburntiger1987 759]

Do not like what I’m seeing with the infield. I know it’s game one but jullian is not comfortable and it shows 

[AlaskanFAN 1,665]

Julien foul ball went to the top deck of the parking garage.

[SaltyTiger 7,789]

Checking in and big War Eagle. Hear we had a wet day in Auburn. Sounds like Paul Ellen on the radio broadcast tonight.

[AlaskanFAN 1,665]

Yup not a good way for DD to start the season. Sometimes it’s not your day. No need to let him struggle when we have a deep pen. Don’t need to work over his confidence after last years start and the work he has put in this offseason.

And he's done..  Elliott Anderson starting the third

Just don't think DD will make it as a starter

Way too early for that assessment....cold damp night....not a pitcher's night IMO.    But he really needs to improve that curve ball.....those looked like last year.

[AlaskanFAN 1,665]

New pitcher for GA S. In bottom 4th w/ no outs runners on 2nd and 1st. 

[AlaskanFAN 1,665]

So far Elliot - 3 innings, 1 hit, 6 K’s, 32 pitches ( 24 strikes) 7-2 tigers bottom 5

Well to be fair his defense let him down too. But he will be fine.

I think this offense is going to give you even more to love...these guys swing the stick.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

This kid Scheffler behind the plate really receives the ball well.  Getting most of the borderline calls.

Yeah I really like him. He's got that Pacific NW kind of baseball coolness.

8 to 2 Auburn going to the bottom of the 8th

Yes...Julien led off the 7th with a shift beater and smoked a single to right.  Stole second and Davis and Bliss with perfect situational hitting moved him to third and home respectivley.  Carson Skipper has ptched around a couple of hits...looking particularly good in the lefty/lefty matchups.  8-2 Auburn starting B8 now.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

Judd Ward looking like he's added 20 pounds since last year...I had to do a double take.

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

NICE piece of hitting there!!!

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

Rankin Woley with a clutch two out, two run double runs the score to 10-2.  Julien follows with an RBI single pushes it to 11-2.  Rain steady falling...it's nasty.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

Final 11-2

Georgia Southern 2 runs on 9 hits and 3 errors

Auburn 11 runs on 8 hits and 2 errors

One key stat - Auburn pitchers gave up one walk (with one out in the 9th) and Georgia Southern issued 6 free passes.
