MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Three bullpen arms combined to throw 4.2 innings without an earned run as No. 17 Auburn baseball defeated Alabama 4-3 in the ninth-annual MAX Capital City Classic at Riverwalk Stadium.
“[Corey] Herndon did a great job, Ryan Watson. I look at the first three guys that got in the ballgame. I’ve got a freshman. I’ve got a first-year junior – a junior college player. It was his first time to ever play in the game, then I’ve got another freshman, Ryan Watson, that gets us all the way to the point,” Auburn head coach Butch Thompson said.
