Auburn bats came alive in the first game of the Tallahassee Regional today as the Tigers belted 13 hits to defeat University of Central Florida 7-4. Freshman Will Holland hit a one out three-run homer in the eighth to put the Tigers ahead 7-1, giving reliever Cole Lipscomb a comfortable cushion to work with in the ninth.
Over all, it was a complete performance for the Tigers who committed no errors and saw Keegan Thompson put on a dominating performance. The Auburn ace struck out nine batters and gave up only four hits and two runs in eight innings of play.
