AUBURN, Ala. – Minutes after the Tigers completed their three-game sweep of the NCAA Auburn Regional, Cooper McMurray and fellow captain Ike Irish stamped the bracket that leaned against the Hal Baird dugout.
Three years of work symbolized in seconds.
“That’s why I came back,” said McMurray, a redshirt senior from Tulsa, Oklahoma. “I owe this university everything for giving me a chance. A pretty cool moment to do that with Ike. This was our goal coming into this year, getting this program back to where it deserves to be.”
