Softball vs. Jacksonville

[OlderWhiskey 953]

Auburn trails Jacksonville 1-0 in top 2.  Yarbrough walked the leadoff batter, struck out the next two, but the leadoff scored on a hit by the cleanup.  AU has bases loaded with one out for Godwyn, pinch hitting for Tissier, in top two.

Edit:  AU ties it at 1 on a HBP (Perry), a single (Calvert), a FC that didn't work, and an RBI walk to King.  Rivera hit into a force to end the inning.

Edit:  Auburn takes a 5-1 lead in top 3 with hits by Dowell and Nillen (2B), plus walks to McCondichie and Snow (HBP), and a couple of errors by Jacksonville (maybe 3).  Nillen's 2-run double chased the pitcher, Mora pitching now.  Struck out Tissier and induced a popout by King.

AU gets 4 more unearned runs in the 3rd highlighted by a 2 run double by Nillen.

Another unearned run in the 4th for AU. 6-1

[OlderWhiskey 953]

We add another in the 4th on a double by Rivera and a timely single by McCondichie.  Now 6-1 Auburn in bot 4.  Yarbrough just gave up a double to cross, retired the next batter on a popup.  She's iven up 2 hits, both to the same player.

Jax had the bases loaded on 2 doubles and a HBP, but Yarbrough got 2 Ks to get out scoreless.  She has 8 Ks in 4 innings.  Nillen coming up for the Tigers in top 5, leading 6-1.

Georgia State tomorrow and Mizzou this weekend. Just wondering why it's a Sat/Sun/Mon instead of Fri/Sat/Sun...

@AU1947 For TV. The SEC does the Sat-Mon series each week for 1 matchup during the conference schedule except the weekend before the SEC Tourney.

Samantha struck out 10, while giving up 5 hits and 3 walks.  We only had 6 hits, but got them at good times; also had help from 4 Jax errors.  Glad to see Nillen get a couple of doubles.  I've been wondering why she was still in the lineup.  Maybe Dean sees something I haven't.
