Early on, this didn’t look great. Jordan Armstrong looked really good through 2 batters but after that, the next 5 reached and Samford led 2-0. Auburn had to go to Carson Skipper, who through a little bit more than a normal bullpen session, going 2.1 and got the Tigers out of trouble. After that, it was normal work for the pen as 5 other Tigers got time to work innings including John Armstrong who was fantastic in his 2.1 with 3 Ks and a hit. On the offensive side, the Tigers answered the Bulldog runs with 5 of their own in what turned out to be the clinching inning.
