No. 11 Auburn tops Samford ahead of weekend showdown with Tennessee
No. 11 Auburn tops Samford ahead of weekend showdown with Tennessee Auburn gained much-needed momentum by taking down Samford at the Hoover Met on Tuesday. The No. 11 Auburn Tigers will face No. 6 Tennessee on the road this weekend in what will be a critical series in SEC play, and gained much-needed momentum ahead of the series by taking out in-state rival Samford at the Hoover Met on Tuesday, 3-0. The Tigers' offense set the tone early with a two-run home run by Cade Belyeu in the 1st inning and a costly Samford error in the 7th inning that scored Chris Rembert. However, the performance of the night went to Christian Chatterton, who turned in another stellar outing in midweek action. The true freshman shut out Samford over six complete innings, allowing one hit and striking out 10 batters. His performance in Hoover follows his previous outing, where he struck out six batters and allowed zero hits in four innings last Tuesday against Georgia Tech at Plainsman Park. Auburn head coach Butch Thompson is impressed with what he has seen from his midweek starter over recent weeks. '(Chatterton) just picked up where he left off a week later,' Thompson said postgame. 'He's done that three or four times in a row now. The changeup, the conviction with everything. When he needed a pitch, he could get that changeup over every time. It's just not recognizable right now. That pitch is set as good as any pitch for any pitcher on our pitching staff.' Although it did not show on the scoreboard, Auburn's offense dominated Samford on Tuesday. The Tigers outhit Samford, 8-2, with Cooper McMurray, Bub Terrell, and reigning SEC Player of the Week Chris Rembert collecting two hits each. Chase Fralick joined Terrell and Belyeu by logging a multi-base hit in the win. Outside of Chatterton, Andreas Alvarez and Ryan Hetzler continued the shutout over the final three innings. Alvarez allowed a hit and a walk while striking out three batters in two innings of relief, while Hetzler slammed the door in the 9th inning by retiring every batter he faced and earning the save. Auburn will now focus on its weekend showdown with No. 6 Tennessee, which begins Friday at 6 p.m. CT at Lindsey Nelson Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee.
