Auburn rode a combined 15 strikeouts from three pitchers for the midweek win.
At a point when every game Auburn plays may help determine the Tigers' post-season fate, winning the midweek games is absolutely essentially. Midweek starter Andrew Mitchell has performed so well this season that he's gotten a promotion to the weekend, which left freshman Daniel Sprinkle to get the nod for this week's midweek contest against Georgia State.
Thankfully, Sprinkle was more than up to the task. Over the course of 6 innings pitched, Sprinkle allowed 2 hits, 2 walks, 2 earned runs, and recorded 8 strikeouts.
