One week after the Tigers beat the Jackets 12-7 in Auburn, the two teams sent freshman LHPs to the mound in Atlanta. Brant Hurter for Tech versus Jake Owen. Statistically, Owen had the edge with a 1.29 ERA versus Hurter’s 12.91. Auburn had been playing very well, with a 19-2 record and ranked as high as #6. But this night would see Hurter put together his best effort by far, picking up the win with five shutout innings as the Jackets built a good lead and nearly lost it late before holding on, winning 6-4, giving Danny Hall is 1000th victory as Tech’s head coach.
