Baseball Returns Home For Five Games Starting Tuesday At 6 PM

[AUSportTalk 4]

Fresh off a series victory at Tennessee that upped

Auburn’s record to 13-5 on the season, the baseball team returns home

for a five-game home stand this week, beginning Tuesday night at 6pm CT

against Charleston Southern. Auburn and Charleston Southern will also

play on Wednesday at the newly scheduled time of 3pm CT before Auburn

welcomes No. 16 Arkansas to Plainsman Park for a three-game SEC series

this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

“We encourage everyone to come out and give us support this week,”

Auburn Head Coach John Pawlowski said. “This is a big week for us. We

have to keep the momentum going (from winning two-out-of-three at

Tennessee). I see some good things happening, but we just have to keep

getting better as this season goes.”

Auburn slugged six home runs over the weekend to bring the season total

to 39 on the year, which already ranks in a three-way tie for 21st in

the school annals. Leading the offensive charge is the top two in the

order in So. OF Trent Mummey and Jr. IF Joseph Sanders, who have

combined to hit 17 home runs and drive in 44 RBI while scoring 52 runs.

Fr. RHP Dexter Price (3-0, 3.78) gets the starting nod for Tuesday’s

game against Charleston Southern while the coaching staff has not

decided on its Wednesday starter. Price comes in a winner of three

straight, having allowed just seven runs all season while getting an

average of 14 runs per start.

Charleston Southern (8-8is scheduled to start So. RHP Jesse Cadenhead

(1-1, 11.30) on Tuesday and Sr. RHP Eric McGough (0-1, 8.49) on

Wednesday.

Wednesday’s game is Youth Day and all fans 17-and-under with a cap

and glove will get in free.
