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. Tilly will look to shut down the bats on Friday evening to get the Tigers closer to the NCAA Super Regional. The game will start at 6 p.m. CT and can be seen on ESPN+.
