The new look Auburn Tigers took care of business on the weekend, keeping a hot Indiana offense down for all but Sunday to take the opening series of the year two games to one. “We really wanted them to get out of town before they started swinging it because of all our preparation and video of seven of those nine returners that we talked about beforehand,” head coach Butch Thompson said Sunday. Through 18 innings, Tiger pitching held the Hoosiers to just 5 runs on 9 hits with 7 walks. Contrast that with Sunday where Indiana had 5 runs after the first 12 batters of the day.
