QUICK HITTERS:
- Just three days after totaling seven RBIs and five home runs during the War Eagle Challenge, Kendall Veach sits three RBI away from plating 100 runs during her career. After last weekend's performance, Veach is now one of just nine players in Auburn softball history to hit 30 home runs during their career.
- Through 26 games of her senior season, Veach has already hit 11 home runs in 72 at bats. That total leads the team by three (Tannon Snow next closest with eight) and is one off her single-season career high, set last year.
- Auburn, through this point of the season, has already hit 37 home runs, which is tied with LSU for the second most in the Southeastern Conference behind Georgia's 40. The Tigers are 86.0 percent towards last year's season total of 43.
