It’s baseball. Teams will lose some unexpected games. It happens, and it’s not the end of the world.
No. 5 Auburn fell to Troy, 5-2, on Tuesday night at Plainsman Park. And the game could have and should have been much worse than that. Troy put 14 in the hits column and left 14 runners stranded on base over the course of the night.
In addition to the 14 hits the Tigers allowed against Troy, Auburn’s four pitchers also walked four batters. Freshman Christian Camacho, who had a great outing last week against Kennesaw State, had a rough night on the mound allowing four runs and nine of Troy’s 14 hits through just 4.
