Softball vs. Yale - Game Thread

[WarTiger 3,901]

Fagan sends one DEEP to right and its GONE.   2 run homer for Haley Fagan.  Auburn extends their lead to 9-0.   Veach, Shea and Rivera due up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Looks like Auburn is going to do some pinch hitting now.   Abbott on to pinch hit for Veach.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Abbott flies to left, caught just shy of the warning track.  1 out.   Madi Gipson pinch hitting for Shea

[WarTiger 3,901]

Gipson sends one to center and its over the head of the center fielder and to the wall.  Gipson rounds 1st and stands up at 2nd.   Greenwood pinch  hitting for Rivera.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Greenwood grounds to 2nd... Gipson moves to 3rd.  1 out (I think) and Bree Fornis will pinch hit for Jordan.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Top 5th.  Spain pinch hits and flies to center.  1 out.  Sydne Waldrop up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Waldrop draws a walk.  Morgan Podany up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Podany singles to right.  1 out, Runners on 1st and 2nd and KK Crocker in to pinch hit for Cooper.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Slow roller to 3rd, throw to 1st in time.  Runners move to 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs.  Maresette coming up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Maresette pops it up to 2nd. to end the top 5th.   Going to the bottom half, Auburn leads 9-0. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Ashlee Swindle in to pitch her 2nd inning of work

[WarTiger 3,901]

Grounder to cooper, 1 out.   Strike out by Swindle.  2 outs. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Swindle gets a strikeout swinging and that's the ball game.  Auburn wins 9-0 over Yale.   Martin and Swindle combine for a 5 inning  no-hitter.    Game 2 vs. James Madison coming up in 30-40 minutes.

[AUMASTERS 555]

Hope the bats stay hot against James Madison.

Agree with that last sentiment.  JM is ranked (14, I think) and strong opposition.  Looking at the box score, I think Yale had only one baserunner.  Martin had a HBP.  No hits, no walks, no errors.  Glad to see Perry get those RBIs.  Also happy to see Crocker able to play again.

Auburn had three errors in the Yale game.  1 each by Fagan, Veach and Abbott. Yale left 4 on base.

Thanks for the correction.  I found that yesterday after you or some other poster mentioned it.  Guess I misread the box score the first time.  We've looked sharp in the field for the most part.  I think we're ahead of last year's pace on DPs.
