After an easy 1st weekend, the softball team took on tougher competition this weekend in the SEC/ACC/Big 12 Challenge.

On Friday, they run-ruled #15 Oklahoma State 8-0 in 5 innings. Lauren Guzman, Elizabeth Eisterhold and Caitlin Jordan all had home runs and Lauren Schmalz threw a complete game shutout for the win.

On Sunday, Angel Bunner threw her 1st career no-hitter as Auburn beat Virginia Tech 1-0.

In the final game of the weekend the Tigers took on #20 Georgia Tech. Despite giving up a couple of home runs, the Tigers answered with 3 of their own from Morgan Estell, Branndi Melero and Brooke Lathan plus 3 RBI from Baylee Stephens to take out the Jackets 12-5.

With a 3-0 record and only 5 runs allowed, the Tigers took the tournament championship!

Great job ladies!

Saturday's Results

#24 North Carolina 1

#17 Auburn 0

Heart breaker for the Tigers as Lauren Schmalz there no hit ball for 7.1 innings and took the loss on the only hit of the game as the Tigers stranded 11 runners.

#17 Auburn 11

#14 UCLA 1

Auburn found the offense that had been missing for the previous 2 games as they pounded out 19 hits (1 shy of the school record 20) en route to the win.  Every starter had at least 1 hit, with Lauren Guzman getting 4 and Brooke Lathan, Caitlin Jordan and Baylee Stephens each having 3 hits.  Brooke Lathan tied the school record for doubles in a game with 3.  Pitcher Angel Bunner allowed UCLA only 1 hit in the first 6 innings before surrendering 2 in the bottom of the 7th before getting the last out for the win. 

The Tigers will finish the Citrus Classic on Sunday when they take on Penn State before returning home next weekend for the War Eagle Classic.  Next weekend will be the Tigers final tournament games before heading into conference play.
