After a half-inning Saturday, Auburn baseball’s game against Alabama looked finished.
All nine Crimson Tide batters recorded a plate appearance, with six reaching base, and Auburn pitcher Trace Bright's start was wasted. He gave up four hits and two walks, ending his day en route to a four-run Alabama lead.
No. 20 Auburn put together its 18th game-winning comeback this season Saturday, as three Tiger relievers mustered a scoreless eight innings while the Auburn bats scored in four consecutive frames to cement a 6-4 victory and series win against the Tide. Sheehan was “the story,” Thompson said, as he pitched half of the bullpen’s eight innings, throwing 65 pitches and giving up a hit and a walk while striking out four.
The Tigers also scored all six of their runs in middle or late innings, and Bobby Pierce’s two-hit day proved impactful, as a fourth-inning solo home run jump started the scoring. He also gave the Tigers the lead with an RBI-single in the seventh.
