Corvallis Super Regional: Bullpen Dominates as Tigers Pull Out Game 1

#14 Auburn @ #3 Oregon State

Game 1 (SAT): 7-5 W

It definitely wasn’t how Auburn drew it up to be sure. Trace Bright was not supposed to leave in the 1st, but he did. Auburn was not suppose to be able to get 7 runs on the board in Game 1 but they did. And the bullpen was not supposed to go 8.1 innings and give up a lone run in the 9th to a dynamic offence like Oregon State. But, they did. Auburn held on to a heart stopping 7-5 lead in the 9th to take Game 1 over the 3rd seeded Oregon State Beavers. Meaning, once again, they are 1 game away from the promised land that is Omaha.

I could start with the offense, where they kept up the pace they set last weekend. Sure, they didn’t throw up double…
