The pitcher we're facing is SICK!!!! He's ridiculous. We're gonna need to bring our A-game tonight to stand a chance against this guy. But still, I ain't taking nuthin but a win!

Auburn's lineup for tonight

1. Fradejas RF

2. Gamache 3B

3. McElroy SS

4. Caldwell C

5. Gilmer DH

6. Patterson 1B

7. Simpson CF

8. Beisner LF

9. Hargett 2B

I'm intersted to see Gilmer at DH and Gamache still at 3B I know earlier in the year CJP had much more confidence in Gilmer's fielding ability.

I won't be around for tonight, I have plans, but I'll be back after the game to discuss (hopefully a victory).

I keep up the updates tonight

It would be great to start out this series right. WDE!!!!!!

[AUAeroEngineer 0]

KP at the plate with 2 outs and bases loaded

[AUAeroEngineer 0]

Weak grounder to 1st. No runs scored after loading the bases. We cannot waste opportunities like that this weekend

[telling tiger 156]

Nope fish we can't. Every movement counts in a series like this.

[AUAeroEngineer 0]

Exactly. USC also loaded the bases with 1 out, but John Luke pitched out of it. No score after one

[telling tiger 156]

Cool, good as starting over.

[AUAeroEngineer 0]

Creed scores from 2nd on a bouncer over short. Auburn up by one. Still top of the 2nd

[AUAeroEngineer 0]

Tie game. JLJ hangs a curveball and they hit it off the wall and drive in a runner

[telling tiger 156]

That was short lived.

[AUAeroEngineer 0]

Same score. Heading to the bottom of the 3rd

[AUAeroEngineer 0]

Nothing doing after 3. JLJ gets two K's tho

[AUAeroEngineer 0]

Well, same score after 4. We just got lucky, lucky, lucky on a call though. A ball that hit the batter was called a strikeout. Like I said, we got VERY lucky

[AuburnTigers1 0]

Would someone please tell the announcers that the umpire called strike 3 because it was in the strike zone when it hit him. You can't lean over the plate into the strike zone.

[AUAeroEngineer 0]

It sounds like it hit the butt of the bat, which would be a foul ball. Either way, we still got lucky. Gamache singles in the 5th but nothing doing

[AUAeroEngineer 0]

Same score heading to the 6th. Jacobs settling in nicely

[AUGoo 2,664]

how about a two out rally here in the 7th

[AUAeroEngineer 0]

Same through 6

[AUGoo 2,664]

aauugghhh!

[AUGoo 2,664]

time for one of our famous late inning rallies

[AUCE05 369]

Score anyone?

[AUFightingSoldiers 685]

And the relief pitcher comes in, hits the first batter... and that guy scores.

SC wins 2-1.

Most disappointed I've been in our bullpen all year.
