Mid-week Round-up: @ UAB

Over the past two seasons, for whatever reason, UAB has been a touch of a thorn in Auburn’s side. Last year, the Tigers needed the late game heroics of a Brett Wright home run to over-power the Blazers 11-8. This year’s edition of the game in Birmingham had the same outcome but a different hero to put the Tigers ahead for good. To start the game, Auburn called on Garrett Wade who has been fantastic so far in his midweek starts, but Tuesday night was a rough start for the freshman. UAB was able to touch up Wade for 4 runs on 3 hits with 4 walks and just 2 strikeouts in only 1.
