Auburn baseball faced adversity early in Saturday’s game against USC. Johnny Olmstead scored the Trojans’ first three runs of the game, one on a solo blast and two more on a couple of Auburn errors to give USC the 3-0 lead through three innings.
Auburn responded by tying the game in the 4th inning on three RBI singles by [autotag]Bryson Ware[/autotag], [autotag]Cooper McMurray[/autotag], and [autotag]Brody Moss[/autotag]. The Tigers then blew the game open in the 6th inning on three RBI singles and a fielders choice by [autotag]Mike Bello[/autotag] to put Auburn ahead, 8-3.
USC would gain some of those runs back in the 8th inning on a sacrifice fly by Carson Wells and a two-run double off of the left field wall by Adrian Colon-Rasado to trim the Tigers lead to 8-6. But, the trend continued in the bottom half of the inning when McMurray and Ware each hit two-run home runs to give Auburn the 12-6 win.
Auburn moves to 5-1 on the young season, and has clinched its’ second weekend series of the year. Here are the best images from Auburn Baseball’s 12-6 win over the Trojans on Saturday.
