Auburn baseball tabs Cam Tilly the starting pitcher vs. Central Connecticut State Cam Tilly will be on the mound as the Tigers open the NCAA Regional against Central Connecticut on Friday.
The Auburn Tigers begin their quest to the College World Series on Friday evening when they host Central Connecticut State in their regional at Plainsman Park.

Throughout the season he has pitched a total of 45 innings and has struck out 58 batters.

His batting average is .458 and he hit nine home runs. He led the Northeast Conference with runs batted in with 69. Behind Redahan is Antonio Ducatelli with a .348 batting average that ranks sixth in the conference.

Auburn names Sam Dutton starter versus Stetson
Auburn names Sam Dutton starter versus Stetson Auburn will go to Sam Dutton on Saturday night versus Stetson After defeating Central Connecticut State, the Auburn Tigers are looking to pick up another win in the NCAA Baseball Tournament. Cam Tilley took the mound in game one and struggled early. He did not make it through two innings before being replaced by Carson Myers. Auburn hopes to have a better outing by its starting pitcher versus the Stetson Hatters. After the win on Friday evening, it was announced that Sam Dutton would get the start on Saturday night. Dutton has been the Tigers' best pitcher for most of the season. He started 14 games this season and posted a 6-3 record. He led the Tigers with 89 strikeouts and was named to the All-SEC Second Team. His last start was on May 16th against Ole Miss, where he struggled. He gave up seven runs in three innings pitched. The Tigers lost the game 15-11. Auburn fans should expect a much better performance at home Saturday night. Dutton does have experience in the tournament setting from his time at LSU. The Stetson Hatters will have a team of confident batters after their 11-2 win over NC State on Friday. The Hatters jumped out to a 7-0 lead after the first inning. Third baseman Isaiah Barkett had the best game on the team. He had three hits and scored two runs with four RBIs. The team overall had 13 hits and three doubles. They were helped with nine walks as well. If the Tigers can continue their strong hitting from Friday night and Dutton pitches like he is accustomed, Auburn should have a successful night. The game will begin at 8 p.m. CT and air on ESPN+. Contact/Follow us @TheAuburnWire on X (Twitter), and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Auburn news, notes, and opinions.
