For the first time since Tim Hudson wore an Auburn uniform the Auburn Tigers are making travel arrangements for Omaha, Nebraska. The Tigers beat 14th ranked North Carolina 14 -7 to punch their ticket to the College World Series.
And they did it dominating fashion jumping on the Tar Heels in a 13 run first inning. The Tigers tallied 18 total hits on the day led by Judd Ward who had 3 hits, 3 RBI’s, a base on balls, and 2 runs scored.
It was a historic performance. North Carolina had never lost a Super Regional in six previous hosting opportunities.
