No. 20 Auburn softball opened the season last weekend by finishing 1-1-1 record at the Tiger Invitational.
The weekend did not go as planned, as rain altered the weekend schedule and ultimately canceled two games. Auburn played a tight contest on Saturday with Virginia Tech that ended in a 5-5 tie due to heavy rain that caused a two-hour-plus delay. The rain went on to cancel Auburn’s second game of the day against Illinois.
Rain played a role in Sunday’s action as well, as the Tigers could not complete its weekend-finale with Belmont.
Auburn played a complete schedule on Friday to begin the weekend, and split the day. Auburn forced extra innings in the season opener with Virginia Tech before the Hokies broke the game open with a 7-run 8th inning to win, 8-1. The Tigers responded by knocking off Belmont in the night cap, 6-1.
Despite the altered weekend schedule, there were plenty of notable weekend performances to tell you about including the debut weekend of Maryland transfer, Amelia Lech.
Here are the most notable players from Auburn softball’s opening weekend of action.
