Oct. 16, 2016 AUBURN, Ala. - Wrapping up its opening weekend of the fall season, Auburn took two decisions from Daytona State in a doubleheader at Jane B. Moore Field on Sunday afternoon.
"I thought it was a good day," said head coach Clint Myers. "We were able to do some things offensively and were very good in the circle.
"Today showed us some things that we need to work on; consistency, the little things. That's what we needed. We only have four games left, so we've got to go out and really work hard in those four games to get better."
In the first game of the day, five different players recorded two RBI. Kaitlyn Crocker and Justus Perry each popped home runs, while Casey McCrackin and Sydne Waldrop chimed in with one double apiece.
Crocker also paced the team with three runs scored, while Alyssa Rivera crossed the plate twice.
In the circle, Ashlee Swindle got her first start of the fall and went 4.0 innings, allowing just one earned run and striking out one. Kaylee Carlson provided relief and tossed 3.0 frames with five strikeouts to guide Auburn to a win in the opening game of the day.
The offense remained spread out in the second game as 11 players each tallied one base knock.
Carmyn Greenwood went 2-for-3 and racked up two RBI to lead the way at the dish. Haley Fagan, Tannon Snow and Rivera each contributed a pair of RBI, with Fagan and Rivera notching an extra-base hit, as well.
Jenna Abbott hurled 3.0 innings to start the game and added a strikeout. Makayla Martin and Alexa Nemeth then combined for a perfect 4.0 stanzas to close out the contest.
The Tigers will have a week of practice before taking on their next opponent of the fall slate. Auburn hosts Wallace State CC-Hanceville in a doubleheader on Friday, Oct. 21, beginning at 4 p.m.
Admission is free to all fall home games at Jane B. Moore Field.
