Auburn baseball tabs Cam Tilly the starting pitcher vs. Central Connecticut State
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. On Thursday, Auburn announced that Cam Tilly will take the mound as the starting pitcher. Tilly has started five games this season and has a record of 3-3. Throughout the season he has pitched a total of 45 innings and has struck out 58 batters. Tilly has lost his previous two starts in games versus Ole Miss and Texas A&M. The loss against the Aggies occurred in last week's SEC Tournament that saw the Tigers make an early exit. His last win as a starter occurred when the Tigers defeated South Carolina 24-2 on May 8. He pitched five innings in the game allowing one run from two hits. Tilly also struck out six batters in the win. He will be facing a Central Connecticut State team that led the Northeast Conference in batting with a team average of .331. They were not a great team with the long ball this season, only hitting 36 home runs. That ranks in the bottom half of the conference. Their best hitter is infielder Aidan Redahan. 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 baseball gives nod to Cam Tilly for SEC Tournament opener
Auburn baseball gives nod to Cam Tilly for SEC Tournament opener Cam Tilly has turned in two-straight five-inning starts, and will be trusted with the ball for Auburn's SEC Tournament opener on Thursday. Auburn pitcher Cam Tilly has made starts in four-straight SEC series, and has earned the right to get the ball for the Tigers' SEC Tournament opener on Thursday. Head coach Butch Thompson revealed Tuesday during his pre-SEC Tournament press conference that Auburn sophomore right-hander Cam Tilly will start the Tigers' opening game on Thursday morning against No. 14 Texas A&M at 11 a.m. CT at the Hoover Met. If all goes according to plan, Thompson says that Tilly could eat a few innings and pave the way for Andreas Alvarez and Cade Fisher to close the game, which could put Auburn back on its usual weekend rotation for the weekend. "I think that could really help us for (Thursday). That's two fresh arms when you mention Alvarez and Fisher. They could maybe both get in the ballgame tomorrow. I'm not sure how it will play out and who we'll play, and how the lineups are constructed. We're going to Tilly on one day's rest. Then you've got two fresh guys that have started games for us this year, ready to go. Then you could be right on your regular rotation as long as you stay and compete and win with (Samuel) Dutton and (Christian) Chatterton for the next two games." Tilly's four starts this season have come in the final four SEC weekends. He has turned in five innings in each of his last two games, where he has combined to strike out 11 batters and allowed five earned runs while posting a 1-1 record. Tilly is 3-2 overall with a 4.71 ERA, 52 strikeouts, 25 walks, and a 58% strike percentage in 42 innings of work. Auburn baseball opens the SEC Tournament on Thursday at 11 a.m. against Texas A&M. The game will be broadcast live on SEC Network from the Hoover Met.
