Baseball Regional Series

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Safe to say our offense woke up ... still hate that this game is only on ESPN+. Already pay $70 for YouTube TV. Don't want to pay more just to watch a couple games.

Auburn is up 11-0 in the 1st. Will edit this with scoring breakdown

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Bright got us started and hit a batter but nothing else as he strikes out 2 in the 1st ... and here we go ...

Rambusch singles!

Foster HOMERS!

DiChiara singles and then move to 2nd on a balk.

Peirce HOMERS!

Carlson doubles!

Moore singles!

Howell HBP and then every one moves up on another balk with Carlson scoring.

LaRue walks the bases loaded again. STILL NO OUTS!

New pitcher for SLU.

Bello with a sac fly.

Rambusch HBP.

FOSTER HOMERS AGAIN IN THE SAME INNING!

DICHIARA HOMERS!

Peirce flies out.

Carlson flies out.

11-0 Auburn T2nd

Save some of those runs for the rest of the tourney....but anyway, a great way to start!!!!

Cole foster homers from both sides of the plate.

for those that didn’t see the game and reading this later … they were both absolute no doubters 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

I'll try to post highlights of the first inning for people who can't watch and don't have twitter.

[AUBwins 10,046]

I have the "Bundle" but ESPN app is stupid.  Makes me re sign in.  I finally did to see DiCharia crossing the plate and 11 runs.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Foster's FIRST Homer!

 

Foster's SECOND HOMER!

[mustache eagle 2,388]

Now we have to stay focused and play solid ball and see this game out.  Throw strikes, field clean and keep hitting line drives.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

I absolutely love Foster pimpin those homeruns! Need all of that swagger!

That 2nd one ... heck of a shot.  Wow. 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Bright gives up a lead off homer before retiring the next 3 with 2 ks. He has 4 ks through 2.

11-1 Auburn B2nd

Well last time we scored double digits runs in the first inning of a postseason game, we made it to Omaha that year. Good signs so far. Granted the previous game was the game that decided who went to Omaha though.

[AUBwins 10,046]

Foster is protected with DiChiara behind him.

Foster’s been underrated this season. Struggled in non conference play beginning of the year and hit .309/.405/.574 in SEC play this year.. He’s gonna be awesome next year.

Curious y’all’s opinion … assuming we keep a hefty lead, who do you pull out of the pen to replace bright?

surely not our go to guys.  Younger guys, deeper in the pen and milk the arms?  Or throw the main guys but for minimal pitches?

So happy to have him back. We've struggled finding a good hitter in the top of the lineup other than DiChiara, Rambusch, and Peirce. Hopefully his hot bat continues through the post season.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Moore strikes out on a full count.

Howell grounds out. Doesn't look like a repeat of inning 1.

LaRue gets ahead 3-0 before homering on a 3-1 count. Balls are FLYING off the bat.

12-1 Auburn

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Bello DOUBLES down the line!

Rambusch SINGLES! Throw to home is late! Bello scores!

Review incoming, though.

13-1 (pending the review) Auburn!

Edit: No video for me but according to Auburn broadcast the throw was in time but the catcher bobbled it. Should be confirmed.

Depends who’s on the 27 man roster as Drabick, Hall and Wade aren’t.

Probably Fuller, Granzow, Bosse, Hill, Isbell or younger Carlson I’m fine with.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Foster falls behind 0-2. Strikes out on 3 pitches.

13-1 Auburn T3rd

Rocket throw on target from RF to gun him down but slide was into the glove and knocked ball out.  The question was whether he touched home at all.  The trail foot did touch the base.

Was a great throw

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Single just under Moore's glove.

5 pitch walk. Big strike out to set up the double play opportunity to get out of the inning.

Infield single to Moore. Bases loaded with 1 out. Would love that double play.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Another single, 2 runs score. Glad to have a large cushion.

13-3 Auburn

[mustache eagle 2,388]

The last couple singles have been soft but well placed
