Auburn baseball announces pitching rotation for Ole Miss series The No. 6 Tigers will send out a familiar rotation this weekend to close out the regular season.
The Auburn Tigers have been playing great as the regular season ends. They have one more series before the start of the SEC Baseball Tournament.
Starting Thursday, the Tigers will have a three-game series in Oxford, Mississippi, against the Ole Miss Rebels. It will be a test on the road with Ole Miss possessing a 23-7 record at home. They are 35-17 overall and are No. 9 in the SEC with a 14-13 record.
The series will be a test for the Auburn pitching staff. Ole Miss is ninth in the SEC with a batting average of .284 and has hit 97 home runs. Austin Fawley leads the team with 16 home runs, and three other players have ten or more. The Tigers announced the starting rotation for the series on Wednesday.
Game one: Cam Tilly (Thursday)
Cam Tilly will be on the mound first for the Tigers in game one. Tilly picked up a win in the Tigers 24-2 win over South Carolina in game one of their series last weekend. He pitched five innings with six strikeouts and only allowed two runs. He is 3-1 on the season, and looking to pick up more wins than he did last year when he had the same record.
Game two: Samuel Dutton (Friday)
When Samuel Dutton takes the mound on Friday he will be looking to rebound from a bad performance. In game two against South Carolina, Dutton did not play the best baseball. He pitched four innings allowing five runs from eight hits. He has been the Tigers best pitcher for most of the season. He has a 6-2 record with an ERA of 2.86. Dutton is eighth in the SEC with 85 strikeouts.
Game three: Christian Chatterton (Saturday)
Christian Chatterton has been playing great and will have the opportunity to close the series on Saturday. Chatterton is 4-1 on the season, and has made things difficult for opposing batters. Before giving up three runs versus South Carolina, he went four games without allowing a run.
