6,000+ people packed Toyota Field in Madison to take in what promised to be a solid match up on the diamond. No one left disappointed in the effort they saw or the quality of a game. Both teams battled to a scoreless tie through 4 innings before Tennessee Tech’s offense finally broke through for 3 runs in the 5th. Auburn was able to answer back for a run in the 5th and then another in the 7th. Then in the 8th, TTU pitching would start to unravel as Auburn would parlay three consecutive walks and a Hit By Pitch into an opportunity for a Sac Fly and Auburn led 4-3 as we went to the last frame.
