Although the Auburn Tigers came to Tuscaloosa ranked 25th in the country, many felt this was a very winnable series for the Tide. However, the Tigers had other ideas and completely outplayed the hosts in every way. Auburn looked vulnerable mainly because of a .199 batting average in SEC play entering the series, and the surprisingly strong pitching from the Alabama staff so far. Well, about that. The Tigers hit a robust .462 (46-121) over the three games, outscoring the Tide by a margin of 44-10. Pitching and defense have been a strong component of Brad Bohannon’s first team, but neither performed in the three games.
