The best surprise to come out of Auburn this spring has been a rejuvenated baseball program. And Auburn keeps on rolling along as the No.10 Tigers defeated No.11 Arkansas in a three game home-stand over the weekend in what was possibly the biggest series at Plainsman Park in the past seven years.
Sunday’s game marked the second time this season that Auburn has won a series without one of their starting pitchers. The Tigers had to play Arkansas without starter, Casey Mize who was held out due to a sore shoulder. Just a week ago, Auburn beat South Carolina without the team’s other ace, Keegan Thompson, who was also nursing a much used throwing arm.
