Tigers Take Final Game to Salvage Weekend

Saturday morning, I woke up and prepared myself to have this be a midseason recap, because I didn’t want to unfold the first 2 games. Auburn lost both in the two ways you can lose a baseball game, close and have it slip away at the end and a blow out that you claw back into, but are never close enough to be a real threat. It was agonizing. Auburn should have gone into Saturday with another rubber game and Joseph Gonzalez toeing the rubber for the Tigers. Now they had to have another dominant performance on the mound and have the bats wake up to even salvage a game and not get swept against a State squad that had struggled before Auburn showed up.
