Auburn's Star Streak Hits Full Force as Dreamers Dominate Missouri!
The Auburn Tigers swept Missouri over the weekend to earn its first SEC series win of the season. Here are the players that made it happen.
The No. 5 Auburn Tigers handled business over the weekend by sweeping Missouri to open SEC play with a 3-0 record in league play. Auburn's first win of the weekend came in controversial fashion as the lights at Taylor Park mysteriously went dark shortly after Bub Terrell hit a go-ahead home run in the 8th inning, causing a delay lasting over an hour.
However, Auburn reliever Garrett Brewer handled adversity well by striking out the side in the 8th inning and limiting Missouri to two hits and zero runs in Auburn's 2-0 win . The remainder of Auburn's series at Missouri was played Saturday as a threat of storms on Sunday forced a doubleheader. Auburn needed extra magic to seal a win in game one as Chase Fralick singled home Cade Belyeu in the 10th inning, and Ryan Hetzler retired the side in order in the bottom frame to nail down a 4-3 win.
In game two of the day, Auburn scored seven runs in the 7th inning to create separation and complete the sweep with a 9-2 win. Several players made a giant impact in Auburn's weekend sweep of Missouri. Here are three stars from the SEC opening weekend win.
Ethin Bingaman The freshman first baseman was vital to Auburn's weekend success by logging a hit in each of Auburn's three-game set at Missouri, with his loudest hit coming in game two of Saturday's doubleheader when he smashed a three-run home run as part of a seven-run 7th inning. Bingaman is hitting . 320 with three home runs and 20 RBI in 50 plate appearances.
