Samford picked up the first run of the ball game and that was all Tiger pitching get a strikeout. After that, Mason Barnett, Chase Allsup and Jordan Armstrong would combine to strike out 17 Bulldogs and the offense would get the job done with 4 runs, including a Bobby Pierce home run (his first of the year) over the monster. It was a complete team win that kept the Tigers engaged though out while not using their top arms to get the win. The other interesting note is that Sonny D was 0-3 against his old squad. That isn’t a criticism, it just showed that Auburn can go out and get a win with out their igniter popping off bombs left and right.
