Auburn fought off another tough challenge to advance to the Regional Final Sunday afternoon.
The bats weren't too hot, again, as South Carolina-Upstate put in their ace pitcher in relief in the 1st inning, but good vision by the Auburn batters and key hits in clutch moments were enough to propel the Tigers to a comfortable victory Saturday afternoon.
Two early walks in the 2nd inning put runners on board for the Tigers. A few batters later and Emily Carosone drove one off the left field wall for a 2 RBI double. Upstate's Abbie Millete cut that in half with a solo home run off Kaylee Carlson in the bottom half of the inning, though.
