[WarTiger 3,901]

Podany walks.  Runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs.  Justus Perry pinch hitting for McCrackin

[jared52 4,354]

Can't watch that pitch with 2 strikes. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Perry strikes out looking.  crap.  Auburn trailing 1-0 after 4.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Martin sets down Texas State.  Auburn coming to bat in the bottom 5th.   Draper, Wallace and Cooper due up.

Draper strikes out looking.  1 out.  Back to the top of the order.  Carlee Wallace.

This is a pretty decent team.  They're 13-3, and have given up only 16 runs in 16 games.  Beat Texas and Texas Tech, lost to BYU and Abilene Christian (twice).  BYU the only team to score more than 3 runs on them.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Wallace draws a walk.  Cooper coming up.   1 out.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Coopers sends it deep to center but caught.  2 outs.

[jared52 4,354]

Coop didn't hit the good part of the bat on that on just a few feet short. 

Haley lays one into the RF corner for an RBI triple.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Fagan first pitch, lines it to the right side and Fornis (pinch running for Wallace) comes around to score and Fagan ends up at third with a triple.   That's a 17 game hitting streak for Fagan.   Veach up.  Game tied 1-1

[jared52 4,354]

Veach just half a step slow. 

[OlderWhiskey 954]

Way to pinch-run, coach

[WarTiger 3,901]

Veach grounds to 3rd to end the inning, but Auburn plates a run and pulls even 1-1 going to the 6th.

[AU64 10,122]

well that's better but sounds like the first team to score from on will win the game...both pitchers seem to be in control of the game.

[WarTiger 3,901]

2 quick outs for Martin... make that 3....   Shea, Rivera and Podany coming up.  Let's get a run or two here.

[OlderWhiskey 954]

Their pitcher Rupp is 8-1 with an ERA of 1.01, 78 strikeouts.

wonder if she would like to consider a transfer?

[WarTiger 3,901]

walked out of the room and apparently missed Crocker pinch  hitting for Shea?

[WarTiger 3,901]

game tracker says Shea hit by a pitch, but the announcers are mentioning crocker all the time during the at bat.

[jared52 4,354]

Wow, the home plate ump just took a ball to the arm and it looks like his arm is broken. This will be a long break as they move one of the field umps to behind the plate. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Apparently the home plate umpire has been injured after a deflection on a pitch or something similar.  Jared can you offer a better explanation since you are there?

Looks like the home plate umpire may be finished as the other umpires have left the field according to the radio guys.
