AUBURN, Ala. - When Butch Thompson listed “TBA” as Sunday’s starter for the Arkansas series, he knew no matter who started, he would need to rely on Auburn’s bullpen.
Before Thompson even asked, Andrew Mitchell volunteered.
“I knew he was available today. He really wanted the baseball today,” Thompson said. “He had come to see me several times before the game. ‘I want an opportunity to help my team.’”
Mitchell helped, all right.
He pitched five innings, allowing only one run while earning the win in Auburn’s 11-6 series-clinching victory.
